About us
Thresholds provides healthcare, housing, and hope for thousands of persons with mental health and substance use conditions in Illinois each year. Through care, employment, advocacy, and housing, Thresholds assists and inspires people to reclaim their lives. Thresholds is one of the oldest and largest providers of recovery services for persons with mental health and substance use conditions in Illinois. We offer 30 innovative programs at more than 75 locations throughout Chicago, the adjacent suburbs, and four surrounding counties. Services include assertive outreach, case management, housing, employment, education, psychiatry, primary care, substance use treatment, and research. Thresholds’ staff meets people where they are – out in the community. Offering services in a community-based setting makes them more accessible and effective and lessens the social exclusion that is often present in the lives of persons living with mental illnesses and substance use conditions. This allows our staff and clients to work on skills, clinical interventions, and recovery that allows them to live independent lives in their own neighborhoods Our clients are all unique – coming from vastly different backgrounds and arriving with different needs, talents, and hopes. Each client works with our staff to set their own specific short-term goals and objectives, based on their needs, desires, and level of self-sufficiency. Recovery from mental illnesses and substance use is possible. Recovery is a process of finding and living a satisfying and meaningful life, as one defines it for oneself. We assist our clients as they work to reclaim a positive sense of self, and discover their own potential, gifts, and skills.

TW: gun violence We are heartbroken to hear the news of four people fatally shot on the CTA Blue Line early Monday morning. While the victims were not Thresholds clients, many of our clients seek shelter on the CTA trains in a similar manner. Despite narratives often perpetuated in the media and in our society, people experiencing homelessness and mental health conditions are far more likely to be victims of crime than perpetrators themselves. Regardless of their status or label given to them, these were four people whose lives were cut short, taken, and who no longer have the opportunity to achieve their goals and dreams, to live their lives to their fullest potential. And we mourn this loss deeply. A special thank you to all the Thresholds staff - homeless outreach teams who work on the CTA trains every day - who offer help to people who need it most. We are proud to do this work, proud of you who always show up, and share with you these tragic feelings.

#tbt to some events around town that Thresholds was proud to be part of! Our Community Engagement and Equity staff teamed up with our Substance Use Treatment program at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago's Substance Use Awareness event, where we provided information and resources, and demonstrated how to reverse an overdose! We also helped get kids back-to-school ready handing out backpacks full of supplies at GRO Community's Back to School Bash. Thanks to everyone who stopped by our table, took some information about Thresholds and supported our communities! #ThrowbackThursday #communitysupport #CommunityEngagement #BackToSchool #overdoseawareness

Here are some tips to beat the heat! 👕 wear loose, light-colored clothing 🐕️ don't leave pets outside, and be sure to give them plenty of water 🍴 limit oven use, as it adds heat to indoor spaces 💦 drink plenty of water 🧘♂️ reduce activity level to keep body temperatures lower We encourage you to check in on loved ones and lend a hand if you can. If you need to escape the heat, there are cooling centers open throughout the city.
