The ACT Mental Health Preventive Program offers community workshops that address everyday stressors that can affect mental health, including property tax appeals, insurance enrollment, housing stability, and financial literacy. By providing residents with practical information, resources, and guidance, the program helps reduce anxiety, confusion, and emotional strain before these challenges escalate into more serious mental health concerns. Through education, empowerment, and community support, ACT helps residents navigate life’s challenges, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being.

America Cares Too is dedicated to providing a “helping hand up” to homeless, low-income, and at-risk veterans, and their families. The ACT Mental Health Preventive Program provides community workshops that reduce early mental health stressors and help residents stabilize before symptoms escalate. Through sessions on tax appeals, insurance enrollment, housing stability, and financial literacy, the program addresses the practical challenges that often trigger anxiety, confusion, and emotional strain.

A licensed clinician participates in each workshop to observe interactions, offer brief screenings, and identify early signs of emerging mental health needs. When necessary, residents are connected to therapy, psychiatric services, or case management through warm handoffs.

This preventive model combines resource navigation with early clinical identification, giving Proviso Township residents support in a trusted community setting while strengthening the township’s overall mental health safety net.
