Community Involvement

Whether we are providing tele-psychiatry services to a child or adolescent living in a rural Illinois town, or collaborating with a local school district to provide anger management groups as an alternative to suspension and expulsion, Streamwood Behavioral Healthcare System is continually growing and partnering with agencies and communities to serve youths and families throughout Illinois. Our goal is to continue to be the premiere behavioral healthcare treatment choice for children and adolescents and their families. We also have the clinical expertise to customize trainings and seminars to meet the needs throughout the community—free of charge.
