Lincoln Prairie Behavioral Health Center

Call Directions Website

Lincoln Prairie Behavioral Health Center We provide psychiatric treatment to children and adolescents. We have 88 beds for boys and girls, ages 3-17. Model representations of real patients are shown.

Inpatient – our Inpatient care provides a safe, nurturing and comfortable setting for patients seeking acute care. MISA/Dual Diagnosis – we offer specialized programming for our Inpatient adolescents who are seeking treatment for mental health and substance abuse disorders. Partial Hospitalization – we offer intensive and structured treatment similar to the Inpatient program, but your child is able to continue working on their treatment in the family and community setting. This is often a step down program for those who no longer meet the criteria for our Inpatient unit. Outpatient – we offer therapy provided by Bachelors and Masters level professionals who will help your child with individual treatment plans to address any social, school, community and family issues.

💛 Our doors were open, and our hearts are full!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Lincoln Prairie Community Open House! We were honored to welcome community members, healthcare professionals, educators, and partners from near and far. We are truly grateful for the support, encouragement, and connections shared throughout the evening.

From enjoying delicious food prepared by our very own dietary team to exploring Through Their Eyes: A Patient Art Gallery, our guests got a closer look at what makes Lincoln Prairie special. 🎨 Our Recreational Therapy team brought the exhibition to life by showcasing artwork created by our patients, offering a glimpse into the world through their eyes.

Through guided tours and conversations with our team, we were proud to share a little more about the care, compassion, and dedication that go into making a difference in the lives of children and adolescents every day.

We are incredibly proud to be a trusted resource for families navigating mental health challenges, and we never take that trust for granted. Events like this remind us just how important community is in supporting the mental health of our young people.

To everyone who came, connected, asked questions, and showed their support — thank you! And a special thank-you to our Lincoln Prairie team for making this event so meaningful. We couldn’t have done it without you! 💛

Here’s to continuing to show up for our community and the young people who need us.

🌟 Employee of the Quarter: Amber! 🌟

We’re so excited to celebrate our 3rd Employee of the Quarter — Amber, our Infection Control Nurse! 💛

Amber is the kind of person who makes a difference simply by showing up. She is always ready to lend a hand, support her teammates, and go above and beyond wherever she’s needed. And if you know Amber, you know she rarely does any of it without that big smile and warm hello! 😊

But her impact reaches far beyond our hospital walls. Amber helps train our team in trauma-informed care, verbal de-escalation, and su***de prevention. She has led several community volunteer events on behalf of Lincoln Prairie. Amber brings compassion, energy and a genuine desire to help others into everything she does.

Her coworkers describe her as a true difference-maker and someone they genuinely enjoy working with every day — and we couldn’t agree more. ❤️

Amber, thank you for being someone our team can count on, for always stepping up, and for bringing so much positivity to Lincoln Prairie. We are incredibly grateful for everything you do and so lucky to have you on our team!

Congratulations, Amber! You’ve earned this! 🎉👏🏅

Trust takes time. And so does healing. 💙

Rebuilding trust doesn’t happen overnight. In today’s episode of Clinically Yours, Megan talks about why you don’t owe anyone instant forgiveness—and why you don’t have to rush your progress.

Healing can be messy. Progress can be slow. And that’s okay. What matters is continuing to take steps forward, at your own pace.

As we recognize National Recovery Month, we’re reminded that recovery is a journey—and connection and support can be an important part of it. 💙

If your child could use some extra support along the way, Lincoln Prairie is here. Call 217-585-1180—we’re just a conversation away.

Our team is always learning, growing and looking for ways to better support the kids and families we serve. 💚

This week, our team participated in training focused on Trauma-Informed Care and Su***de Prevention—two important areas that help us better understand, recognize and respond to the needs of the children and teens in our care.

A big thank you to our presenters, Jalisa and Amber, for sharing their knowledge and helping our team continue to grow! 👏

September is Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, a time to remind our community that support is available and reaching out can make a difference.

Knowing the warning signs and checking in with someone you’re concerned about can be an important first step. If you know a youth who is struggling, we're to help.

09/21/2026

Su***de prevention starts with community support and recognizing warning signs before a crisis becomes overwhelming.

💻✨ Happy National IT Day!

And what better way to celebrate than by introducing the newest member of our IT team — Erica, our IT Manager! 👋

Erica brings a problem-solving mindset and a passion for supporting the people behind the technology. When asked what brought her to Lincoln Prairie, her answer says it all:

💡 “I used to work helpdesk, and I disliked how limited it was when it came to solving issues. I hate passing off my problem because I want to be the one with the solution!”

She’s most excited about supporting our staff, learning new systems and finding ways to make everyone’s role a little easier — all so our team can focus on what matters most: helping our patients. 💚

A few fun facts about Erica:

🎤 Go To Karaoke song: Teenage Dirtbag by Wheezer — followed by Tongue Tied by Grouplove if she’s feeling brave!

😴 Favorite Day off plans: Sleeping late!!

💻 One IT tip Everyone Should Know: Unplug from the DEVICE (not the wall!), wait 30 seconds, then plug it back in. 😅

Welcome to Lincoln Prairie, Erica! We’re excited to have you on the team! 🎉

💚 What a great day for mental health!

A few of our Lincoln Prairie team members hit the ground running at Rock for Mental Health annual event this weekend! 🏃‍♀️🎶 We were proud to sponsor an event that brings our community together while supporting access to free counseling for individuals who are uninsured or in need.

And a special shoutout to our team members who showed up, laced up, and represented Lincoln Prairie in support of mental health! 👟💚

We’re proud to be part of a community that keeps showing up for mental health.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, we’re still carrying the memory of the people we lost and the stories of those who showed up for one another in the days that followed.

That spirit of service is part of what we honor today. Even small acts of care can carry meaning, especially when they’re rooted in a simple willingness to show up for someone else.

Twenty-five years on, that’s worth remembering.

May we never forget those we lost, always honor those who serve, and continue choosing kindness in their memory.
