We believe people, who have a serious mental illness, can recover, and we believe that hope enables growth and change to occur. Thus, our services are hope-filled, recovery oriented, and designed to help those with a mental illness reach their goals and dreams and live meaningfully in our community.
Psychiatric Services
Psychiatric services include psychiatric evaluation, medication evaluation, and follow-up. Two Board Certified Psychiatrists and a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner-Board Certified are available to meet the psychiatric needs of our consumers. Psychiatric evaluation and treatment services are provided through a partnership with SIU Center for Family Medicine.
Recovery Services
We help those, who have a serious mental illness, manage their illness, engage in the community, and realize their hopes and dreams. Services include case management (support and linkage to other helpful resources in our community), Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP), and vocational placement and support services.
Crisis Intervention Services
We provide telephone crisis intervention services 24-hours a day, 365 days a year by calling 9 - 8 - 8 .
The hotline is answered by trained, crisis intervention specialists who provide crisis assessment and intervention, as well as referrals. Mobile crisis response services are also available when needed.
Vocational Services
Transitions provides vocational services to adults who have, or have had, a mental health issue and who have an interest in employment. Assistance with exploring vocational opportunities and interests, resume preparation, and interviewing is provided. When the consumer is hired by an employer, we can provide job coaching to assist the consumer in learning the job and meeting the expectations of the employer. Transitions' vocational services are evidence-based services. We utilize the Individual Placement and Support Model (IPS) and have had great success in helping consumers reach their vocational goals. There is no cost for vocational services.
We accept private insurance, Illinois Medicaid, and Medicare.
For those without a third party source of payment, fees are established on the basis of income and family size.
