Behavioral Health Community Services Employment Services Residential Services

This program is for adults who have a severe and chronic mental illness, and require more intensive therapy to strengthen independent living skills. Group sessions throughout the day focus on topics ranging from managing the symptoms of mental illness to learning to access community resources. Social activities are also an important component and help to foster support among fellow participants. The Outpatient Therapy Program provides therapy and psychiatric services to adults who have a diagnosed mental disorder. Individuals in this program live in the community and generally visit Cornerstone for appointments with a counselor. They may also meet with a psychiatrist as needed. We provide residential support to adults with mental health treatment needs through two programs. These programs help develop, support and maximize the quality of life and functional abilities of homeless people with persistent mental health disabilities. Male children ages 14-20 with developmental disabilities whose families reside in the greater Will County area are served in a group home setting. While there they'll receive life skill development, psychiatric services, behavioral analysis/management services and more. We offer a variety of residential alternatives to suit the specific needs of adults with developmental disabilities. We encourage independence, choice and the needs of the individual. The Employment Services staff connects people with disabilities with area employers. Services encompass all facets of the hiring and employment process. We assist individuals with a disability in maintaining his or her job. We spend time at their workplace supporting them in their job functions to build proficiency and confidence. We also help with training or identifying possible job accommodations, which may make a previously-challenging task easier to accomplish. We assist individuals in developing a clear vision for his or her preferred future employment. Career counseling establishes the steps needed to achieve this, while providing the support to navigate each step. Adults with disabilities have many opportunities to participate in community activities that help them learn new skills, become more independent and get involved in the world in which we live. 2 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
