Methodist Children’s Home - Little Rock

About this facility

Methodist Children’s Home in Little Rock offers psychiatric residential treatment facilities (PRTFs) for adolescents ages 12 to 17 with chronic emotional and behavioral disorders. These gender-specific units provide full-time inpatient care with stays typically lasting four to six months. The program focuses on stabilizing behavior to help youth transition back home or to less intensive treatment settings. The treatment approach uses the teaching-family model and a team-based plan tailored to each child’s needs. Therapies include weekly individual and family counseling, grief and anger management, and skill-building groups. Recreational activities and outings also support emotional growth, while medical care and special education classes are available to address broader health and learning needs. Residents live onsite in a family-style environment designed to feel safe and supportive. The program includes behavior management and spiritual enrichment from an on-staff chaplain. A skilled team of psychiatrists, therapists, nurses, and behavioral instructors provides around-the-clock care, promoting healing and preparing youth for successful reintegration.
