The Crisis Recovery Center (CRC) is a safe and welcoming place for kids and teens (ages 5-17) in DuPage County who are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or struggling with their mental health. For children under 5, we will provide an assessment for immediate needs and link to specialized community providers for early intervention support.
Open 24/7, the CRC offers walk-in support for families when their child needs immediate help and a caring team to talk with about what they're going through. Additionally, they offer phone call options as well as mobile response.
