Midwest Center for Youth and Families

If your children have mental or behavioral problems, then Midwest Center for Youth and Families may be what they need to get back on their feet. It’s a residential center in Kouts, Indiana. They help girls ages 10-18 and boys from 12-18. If your income isn’t that high, they do accept Indiana Medicaid.

When your kids are admitted, they’ll get a range of therapy options to help tackle any behavioral issues. There’s the traditional therapy done in groups and with individuals, and there’s also learning through art, music, taking care of horses, and even a ropes course. Family meetings are held on weekends, and they’ll have parenting classes and assistance for you and other adult caregivers. That way, you’ll have better communication with your kids. And in case you’re wondering, they don’t restrain their clients, even if they get rowdy.

In addition, they’ll provide a stable setting where your kids can recover. School is offered in the primary and secondary grades with accredited teachers. They’ll hang out with their own age groups and build up their socializing and teamwork skills. If they need extra help, the school year can be extended to get them that extra boost. All meals and nutrition are provided. Nurses are standing by 24/7 just in case of an emergency. The length of stay is usually at least 30 days.
