Now accepting adorable faces! October kicks off our 2nd Annual Teddy Bear Drive - from now until the end of the month, we will be collecting NEW teddy bears (or any miscellaneous plushies) which will be sorted, categorized and distributed to local law enforcement, EMS, foster and DCFS agencies throughout the community. Our hope is that the friendly (huggable) bears will provide children a bit of comfort in a time of uncertainty or chaos.

Various collection boxes will be set up throughout the county though our main collection point will be within our Carlinville office. Please help spread the word - last year’s haul totaled over 250 stuffed souls (but we think we can top it - it’s a beary good cause)! 🧸

For us, the answer is easy: we feel happiest when we’re watching hope find its way back into someone’s life. We’d love to hear what brings a little happiness into yours.

Taking care of your mental health doesn’t always require big changes. Small, intentional choices in your everyday routine can help you feel more connected, supported, and grounded. Start with what feels manageable, and remember that reaching out for support can be part of taking care of yourself, too! 🌿

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

If you're having a hard time seeing beyond what you're going through right now, we want you to hear this: things can change. What feels impossible today may not always feel this way, and what you're experiencing right now does not have to determine what comes next.

There can be more conversations, more connections, and more ordinary days. You still have so many people to meet, moments to experience, and chapters yet to happen.

Your story is still being written;

If you or someone you know needs support, LSRC's Behavioral Health Urgent Care walk-in clinic is open 8 AM–8 PM, 365 days a year, and our Mobile Crisis Response Team can come to you 24/7 by calling (217) 854-3160.

September is Su***de Prevention Month.

This month is about more than raising awareness. Su***de is complex, and there is rarely one reason someone reaches a point where life feels unbearable. Mental health, physical health, relationships, finances, housing, loss, isolation, and other life circumstances can all play a part.

Su***de prevention means creating communities where people have somewhere to turn when things become too much. It means taking concerns seriously, reducing barriers to getting help, connecting people with resources, and addressing the circumstances that can make someone feel there is no way forward.

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing information to help our communities better understand su***de, recognize concerns, support the people around us, and know what resources are available.

If you or someone you know needs support, Behavioral Health Urgent Care is open 8 AM–8 PM, 365 days a year, and Mobile Crisis Response is available 24/7 at (217) 854-3160.

Labor Day is a day to recognize the work that keeps our families, workplaces, and communities going. Every job, every role, and every contribution helps make our communities what they are, and we’re grateful for all of it. We hope you get a chance to enjoy the holiday.

We also know that life doesn’t check the holiday calendar. That’s why we continue to be here when you need us, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Our main office is closed today in observance of Labor Day, but Behavioral Health Urgent Care remains open from 8 AM–8 PM, and Mobile Crisis Response remains available 24/7.

If today happens to be a hard day, come to the LSRC East Entrance and ring the doorbell at the Behavioral Health Urgent Care door or call (217) 854-3160.

Asking for help doesn’t mean you have to know exactly what you need or how to explain what you’re going through.

Sometimes it simply starts with saying, “I’m having a hard time.”

Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, substance use, a difficult situation, or things just don’t feel okay, you don’t have to figure out the next step on your own. Reaching out can be the beginning of finding the support, resources, and care that are right for you.

It’s okay to ask for help. And it’s okay to start wherever you are.

On International Overdose Awareness Day, we remember the people whose lives have been lost and the families, friends, and communities who continue to carry their absence. We also recognize those who are still struggling, those working toward recovery, and the people who continue to stand beside them.

Overdose does not discriminate, and stigma should never stand between someone and support. We can help break down those barriers by talking openly about substance use, responding with compassion instead of judgment, carrying naloxone, and helping people connect with support when they are ready.

Together, we can continue building communities where people who are struggling are treated with dignity, asking for help is welcomed, and recovery is always possible.

We’re out at The Next Network’s 5th Annual Overdose Awareness Event at Walton Park in Litchfield tonight.

Stop by the Locust Street Resource Center table to learn more about our brand new Behavioral Health Urgent Care, mobile crisis services, substance use support, and other life saving resources available in our community. We’re here until 9 PM alongside other local organizations who are coming together to remember those we’ve lost, support those still struggling, and remind our community that help is available.

Come see us! 🌿

We tend to notice when something feels physically wrong, but we may not always recognize when our mental health is affecting us in many of the same ways.

Stress, anxiety, grief, and emotional strain can take a physical toll, disrupting sleep, draining energy, changing appetite, causing muscle tension, and contributing to headaches and other discomfort. These signs can show up long before you feel overwhelmed or reach a point of crisis, which is why your mental health deserves attention along the way.

If something hasn’t felt right lately, whether mentally or emotionally, you don’t have to wait for it to get worse before reaching out. Our Behavioral Health Urgent Care is available every day from 8 AM to 8 PM, with no appointment needed.

Taking care of your mental health can start right now. 🌿
