Community Support Needed for our Lake Forest Programs

 Did you know Family Service has a Youth Advocate dedicated to providing counseling services at CROYA Family Service employs a full time licensed clinical social worker to provide education, peer support, resource identification and psycho-therapeutic services to local youth and their families. This position is complimentary to existing community services and designed to provide a no cost safety net for youth.  As a community based position, the Advocate has the freedom and flexibility to maintain working relationships with other key professionals; accept referrals directly; and meet youth and families anywhere ensuring accessibility and confidentiality. 

Did you know Family Service also provides a fulltime Senior Advocate available through Dickinson Hall, the Lake Forest-Lake Bluff Senior Center?

 Our Senior Advocate serves older adults in the Center and in their homes, as well as visiting hospitals and nursing homes.  There is no charge for these services, including assessments, counseling, referrals, and assistance with medical and financial forms and housing assistance.  Support is available for those who are homebound, lonely, or caring for a spouse or parent. 

 Will you support the Youth and Senior Advocates?

 Current funding is not adequate to continue to provide Advocate services at the current levels.  We need support from community-minded donors.  Will you help?  You may donate by using the “Donate Now “ button to the left or by calling our office, 847-432-4981.
