On June 1, 2016, Maryville Academy, which provides residential and community-based child welfare services in Illinois, announced that it would end its residential programs by June 30, 2016. Over the past 10 years, the organization has been expanding its community-based programs, such as a crisis nursery, a health care center for children with special health care needs, and a family behavioral health clinic. Maryville Academy will end its residential contracts with the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) and work with DCFS to help youth transition to new residential placements selected by DCFS.
