Illinois Crisis Prevention Network’s (ICPN) mission is to bridge the gap between crisis management and crisis prevention by providing support and stability for children and adults experiencing behavioral, mental health, or medical challenges so that they may live and flourish in their community. ICPN offers community-based services and support to those referred, their families, provider agencies, schools, places of employment, and community day service programs.
ICPN’s Support Services Teams (SST) assist on a statewide basis. The Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Developmental Disabilities (DHS-DDD) generates referrals to ICPN to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, many of whom are dually diagnosed with a mental illness and are experiencing complex behavioral or medical challenges. See the link above for details on the referral process.
ICPN provides professional development via evidence-based and best-practice learning opportunities to families and agencies across Illinois. Their clinicians offer onsite and virtual community-based workshops that are open to all community members and free of charge. ICPN is an approved CEU provider for various specialties. See the Professional Development segment of their website for more information.
