Three years ago, DuPage Foundation and the DuPage County Board believed in our mission and invested in the wellbeing of our community through the the DuPage Community Transformation Partnership Grant.

Today, that support has helped us open our Bloomingdale office where we have delivered nearly 4,000 counseling sessions , and walked alongside more than 500 individuals on their journey toward healing.

We’re honored to be featured in their new video highlighting the amazing work of organizations they support!

🌍💚 Today is World Mental Health Day (October 10, 2025) — a reminder that taking care of your mind is just as important as taking care of your body.

This year’s theme is “Mental Health is a Universal Human Right.” Let’s continue breaking the stigma, checking in on one another, and creating spaces where everyone feels safe to talk and seek help. 💬

If you or someone you know is struggling, you’re not alone. Help is available 24/7 — just call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de and Crisis Lifeline. 💚

Let’s keep the conversation going — your mental health matters. 🧠💪
