About United Methodist Behavioral Hospital
Methodist Family Health - Jonesboro provides outpatient mental health services specifically designed for children, adolescents, and families residing in Arkansas. They address a variety of issues, including psychiatric, behavioral, emotional, and learning difficulties, as well as trauma-related disorders and dual diagnosis situations, employing multiple counseling methods. Their care options encompass individual, family, and group therapy, along with medication management and psychological evaluations.
The clinic adopts a trauma-informed, collaborative strategy that integrates therapies such as trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT), child-parent psychotherapy (CPP), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and registered play therapy. These research-backed therapies assist clients in overcoming trauma, enhancing emotional management, and fostering more positive relationships. Family involvement, combined with the expertise of trained therapists, contributes significantly to improved recovery outcomes.
A notable aspect of their approach is the Teaching-Family Model, a successful behavioral intervention established over four decades ago. This model creates a nurturing atmosphere with small groups and Teaching-Parents who offer supportive and consistent guidance. It is particularly beneficial for at-risk youth, including those in foster care or the juvenile justice system, and is distinctive in Arkansas for its thorough implementation across various care services.
