History

Iroquois Mental Health Center (IMHC) is a community mental health center founded in Iroquois County, a large rural county in east central Illinois.

IMHC first began providing outpatient mental health services as a branch of the Danville Mental Health Center in 1961. IMHC became an independent corporation in 1970 and was incorporated as a 501 c(3) nonprofit agency in 1971. In January 2005, the IMHC moved to its current location at 323 West Mulberry Street in Watseka, Illinois.

Since then, IMHC has expanded to five locations in three counties. We look forward to continued growth and better service to the residents of Illinois and surrounding states.

At Iroquois Mental Health Center, our mission is to help the residents of Iroquois, Kankakee, Vermilion, and the surrounding counties in Illinois and Indiana deal effectively with problems, difficulties, and obstacles that may arise in each person’s life, whether caused by situational, vocational, psychological, or substance-induced factors.

The goal of the Iroquois Mental Health Center, is to enable individuals to function in the community at their maximum level of capability, and for each individual to be a beneficial and contributing member of society.
