Case Management & Outreach

We CONNECT You
To The RIGHT SUPPORT

We Accept

What's Included?

Support works better when care, resources, and next steps are connected.

From family support surveys to referrals and community resources, our outreach helps people move from uncertainty to a practical plan.

Take the Survey
  • Family Support Survey

    A simple way to tell us what your household needs, including food, housing, transportation, safety, and other social determinants of health.

  • Resource Navigation

    Help finding local resources for food, housing, insurance, crisis support, recovery services, and other basic needs.

  • Referrals & Warm Handoffs

    Connection to clinical care, community partners, and follow-up support so you do not have to figure out the next step alone.

  • Telehealth & In-Person Support

    Flexible support by phone, virtual visit, or in person at our Chicago office, depending on what is easiest for you.

  • Outreach & Follow-Up

    Ongoing check-ins and outreach to help families stay connected to services, appointments, and practical community support.
