The continued COVID-19 crisis clearly can affect mental health, so the team at Reid Health Care Pavilion wants families to know services continue to be available for those in need.

"The world is in chaos and under tremendous stress, but our services remain unchanged," said Susan Ream, Reid Health's Director of Inpatient Psychiatry. "We continue to offer and remain committed to providing quality therapeutic services to children and their families during times of crisis. If your child is struggling with anxiety, depression, behavioral issues or even suicidal or homicidal thoughts, please know we are here to help 24/7."

Assessments can be scheduled by calling (765) 827-8022. The assessment number is available at all times -- and emergency admissions are accepted around the clock.

Jeanine Lunsford, BSW, MA, Pavilion Unit Manager, said the Pavilion has been coordinating with state and national health officials and following strict guidance for maintaining a safe environment during the pandemic. "Our mission is to ensure that our residents live in a safe, healthy and supportive environment. COVID-19 has created barriers, but it is imperative we continue to provide services, even if the way we provide services looks a bit different for the time being."
