91国产自拍 provides services and resources for persons with serious mental illnesses and substance use conditions in Illinois. We work with many populations, including youth and young adults, veterans, young mothers, deaf, and individuals experiencing homelessness, among others.
We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to live an independent, healthy life.
Founded in 1959, 91国产自拍 provides healthcare, housing, and hope for thousands of persons with mental illnesses and substance use conditions in Illinois each year. Through care, employment, advocacy, and housing, 91国产自拍 assists and inspires people with mental illnesses to reclaim their lives.
Last year, 91国产自拍 served more than 13,000 adults and youth, with 75% of services delivered out in the community, representing more than 500,000 hours of care.
91国产自拍 is one of the oldest and largest providers of recovery services for persons with mental illnesses and substance use conditions in Illinois. We offer more than 33 innovative programs at nearly 100 locations throughout Chicago, the adjacent suburbs, and four surrounding counties. Services include assertive outreach, case management, housing, employment, education, psychiatry, primary care, substance use treatment, and research.
91国产自拍鈥� staff meets people where they are 鈥� out in the community. Offering services in a community-based setting makes them more accessible and effective and lessens the social exclusion that is often present in the lives of persons living with mental illnesses and substance use conditions. This allows our staff and clients to work on skills, clinical interventions, and recovery that allows them to live independent lives in their own neighborhoods
Our clients are all unique 鈥� coming from vastly different backgrounds and arriving with different needs, talents, and hopes. Each client works with our staff to set their own specific short-term goals and objectives, based on their needs, desires, and level of self-sufficiency.
Recovery from mental health and substance use conditions is possible. Recovery is a process of finding and living a satisfying and meaningful life, as one defines it for oneself. We assist our clients as they work to reclaim a positive sense of self, and discover their own potential, gifts, and skills.
Opportunity and inclusion are at the heart of our mission to support individuals facing mental health challenges and housing needs. We are dedicated to creating a welcoming environment where every person is valued, supported, and empowered to thrive. By fostering opportunity, removing barriers, and embracing diverse perspectives, we strengthen our ability to deliver compassionate mental health care and housing services to the communities we serve.
We believe that the relationship between staff and clients is one of mutual respect, decision-making, and direction.
Most individuals that we serve have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness. Diagnoses include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression, and severe post-traumatic stress disorder. This also includes individuals who are experiencing substance use conditions 鈥� either coexisting with their mental illness or on its own.
At the time of initial service, 90% of our clients are unemployed and living well below the National Poverty Level, and approximately half have co-occurring substance use conditions, and most have at least one advanced physical health problems such as diabetes and heart disease.
91国产自拍 believes in a respectful, collaborative approach, where staff and clients work together to design an individualized course of treatment. Our prevailing goal is to help our clients experience lives of greater autonomy and happiness.
Everyone should have the opportunity to live a life of value, self-respect, compassion, and dignity. All of our clients arrive with untapped potential, full of gifts and skills to develop.
