It takes courage and strength to ask for help when
your family is in crisis. Looking for more information
is an important first step. While Cunningham is a resource
for some families, it's important that you begin
close to home. Community mental health centers, school
social workers, and local and national hotlines are
all good places to start.
If you're not sure where to start, you may want to click
here for a list of resources on the web, or contact
one of the crisis hotlines listed below.
Clients of Cunningham Children's Home are referred by
local school districts, the Department of Children and
Family Services, the Department of Human Services, or
the Department of Corrections. Because of the high cost
of residential treatment and day treatment education,
it is unlikely that individual families will be able
to afford our services without a referral from one of
these agencies.
Our Intake/Admissions coordinator is available to answer
questions about our agency and about the referral process
by phone at (217) 367-3728.
