About us

Thresholds provides healthcare, housing, and hope for thousands of persons with mental health and substance use conditions in Illinois each year. Through care, employment, advocacy, and housing, Thresholds assists and inspires people to reclaim their lives. Thresholds is one of the oldest and largest providers of recovery services for persons with mental health and substance use conditions in Illinois. We offer 30 innovative programs at more than 75 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. Thresholds’ staff meets people where they are – 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 – 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 illnesses and substance use 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.

Thresholds Kankakee recently partnered with a local veterans organization, Project Headspace and Timing for an Art as Therapy event, where veterans and their families could express themselves through the arts. The project asked participants to create a two-sided mask with one side representing their inner self and the other to represent who they are to others. It was an eye-opening and inspirational experience for everyone. A big thank you to Project Headspace and Timing for doing this with us. And thank you to all the veterans and families who participated #Veterans #art #ArtisticExpressions

On Friday the 24th, I will be joining Representative Lindsey Lapointe and Thresholds for a virtual discussion on legislation strengthening mental health network adequacy and access to care. House Bill 1085 and/or SB 55 will require private insurance companies to reimburse behavioral health professionals at a fair rate, while also requiring a timely and transparent process for credentialing mental health and substance use providers. Additionally, we are offering 1 hour of CEUs for licensed professionals in Illinois during this discussion.
