MIND MATTERS 💚
Understanding Your Mental Health Care Options
Throughout our Mind Matters campaign, we’ve been breaking down the different mental health services available through the Lackey Memorial Hospital network and helping our community better understand where to turn and who can help.
For our final installment, we’re highlighting Transitions Behavioral Health, a specialized outpatient program designed for adults age 55 and older who may be navigating depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, loss of independence, health changes, retirement, or simply the emotional adjustments that can come with a new season of life.
Transitions offers something especially valuable: care AND community. Patients spend time with a psychiatrist, nurse and social worker, while also participating in group therapy and activities with others who may be walking through similar seasons. Sometimes being surrounded by people who understand brings a different kind of healing, connection and encouragement.
And something many people may not realize… Transitions has clinic locations conveniently located in Forest, Carthage and Philadelphia.
Transitions accepts Medicare and some Medicare Advantage plans, and you do not have to be in crisis to ask for help.
For a free, confidential assessment, call 601-469-3684.
Mental health care is not one size fits all. From children and adolescents to adults and our senior population, the LMH network is proud to offer resources for every stage of life… right here at home.

Understanding Your Mental Health Care Options
Throughout our Mind Matters series, we’ve been breaking down the different types of mental health care available throughout the Lackey Memorial Hospital network and helping our community better understand who does what and where to start.
Today, we’re continuing that conversation with counseling and emotional support for adults.
Meet Jon Huff, LPC, a Licensed Professional Counselor who sees patients weekly at Community Health Clinic in Forest.
Sometimes you don’t need someone to prescribe medication. You need someone trained to help you talk through what you’re experiencing, understand it, develop healthy coping skills, and find better ways to move forward.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Jon can help with concerns including anxiety and stress, depression and low mood, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma and difficult experiences, relationship and family concerns, anger and emotional regulation, and overall emotional wellness.
That’s one of the messages we hope Mind Matters makes clear: mental health care isn’t one size fits all. Counseling, psychiatric care and medication management are different services, and understanding those differences can make finding the right kind of help feel a little less overwhelming.
Jon sees patients weekly at Community Health Clinic, 505 Airport Road, Suite B, in Forest. To schedule an appointment, call Jon’s office directly at 601-942-3102.
We’ll continue highlighting the mental and behavioral health resources available right here within the Lackey Memorial Hospital network.
Because your mind matters… and asking for help can be a healthy first step.

Understanding Your Mental Health Care Options
We’ve introduced you to mental health care for adults and specialized psychiatric care for children and adolescents. Today, our Mind Matters series continues with another important type of support available right here, close to home… counseling and emotional support.
Meet Kaitlyn Flickner, LMSW, a Licensed Master Social Worker within the LMH network.
Sometimes what you or your child needs isn’t medication management or a psychiatric diagnosis. Sometimes you need a safe place to talk, process what you’re experiencing, learn healthy coping skills, and develop tools to navigate difficult seasons.
As a Licensed Master Social Worker, Kaitlyn can provide support for concerns including anxiety and stress, depression and low mood, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma and difficult experiences, relationship and family concerns, and overall emotional wellness. She can also help connect individuals and families with additional resources and support when needed.
And that’s exactly why we created Mind Matters. Mental health care isn’t one size fits all. Different needs may call for different types of professionals, and understanding who does what can make taking that first step toward getting help a little less overwhelming.
Kaitlyn sees patients at Lackey Pediatric Clinic, 1 Medical Lane in Forest, as well as Main Street Medical Clinic in Morton.
To schedule an appointment, call 601-469-3320.
We’ll continue our Mind Matters series by highlighting another area of mental health care available through the Lackey Memorial Hospital network.
Because every mind matters… and sometimes having someone to walk through it with you matters, too.
