Providing crisis intervention, counseling, assessment and referral for
Mount Prospect residents. All of us experience anxiety over predictable
transitions in life, i.e. the birth of a child, last child leaving the home, or
dealing with aging parents. We also may encounter unpredictable crises in our
life such as: the death of a loved one, violence in a relationship, or being a
victim of a crime.
During these periods, the fears and emotional strain can be very upsetting.
People often recognize professional help is needed, but may not know where to
obtain appropriate services. The Village of Mount Prospect Human Services
Department provides social services to assist persons with individual or family
problems who are referred by Mount Prospect Police Officers. Services are
available at no cost to residents. Counseling is of a confidential nature and
confidentiality of client records is respected in accordance with the law.
Time-limited counseling services of approximately 4-6 sessions are offered to
adults and children after an initial assessment is performed and the case is
deemed appropriate for this program. |
