We're here...to enhance the mental health and well being of
Township residents.

SPECIAL NOTICE:
The River Forest Mental Health Committee is currently reviewing funding applications for the 2012-13 fiscal year.  One exciting aspect of the new fiscal year is the plan to have all funded agencies conduct outreach in River Forest, thereby letting every resident know that services are available.  Outreach will be directed to residents who are in need of developmental disabilities services and to River Foresters who may be mentally ill.  Services are also being funded for parenting, substance abuse and domestic violence.  Also,  programs designed to combat the stigma of mental illness are being considered.  Please contact Avis S. Rudner, Administrator of Mental Health Services 708-771-6159 x 234 for further information.

2011 Meetings:  January 10 *, February 16, March 16, April 20, May 18, June 15 (annual dinner), July 20, September 21, October 19, November 16.

River Forest Township offices, River Forest Civic Center Authority Building,
8020 W. Madison Street, River Forest.

All meetings will take place on the third Wednesday of the month, except for the starred dates.  Meetings are scheduled for 6:30 PM unless otherwise indicated above. 

For information and referral services please contact Avis Rudner, Mental Health Administrator at 708-771-6159 x234 or arudner@riverforesttownship.org.

You can find peace of mind in the knowledge that the River Forest Township Mental Health Committee is working to enhance the mental health and developmental potential of residents by establishing a continuum of community based services that are cost-effective, systematically evaluated and responsive to evolving mental health needs.

The Mental Health Committee's mission is fulfilled through partnerships with community agencies. These agencies provide a flexible network of easily accessible services for the treatment and prevention of mental illness, developmental disabilities and substance use. Services include case management, supervised housing, psychiatric treatment, volunteer opportunities, 24-hour crisis management and social/recreational services.
