Assistance for Domestic Violence Victims
and Mental Health Resources
The Stay at Home order is challenging for many people, but can be especially difficult for certain populations. One group are victims of domestic violence, while another are those dealing with mental health issues.

In many cases, domestic violence victims are forced to stay in their home with their abuser, due to the governor's order. Those experiencing this situation should call 911 - the Village's police social worker can connect victims with alternative housing, counseling and other resources to assist them. For additional resources, individuals can call the Illinois Domestic Violence hotline, day or night at 877-863-6338 .

There are additional resources available for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. All Illinois residents can access the Call4Calm program , where anyone who would like to speak to a mental healthcare professional can text the word “ TALK ” to 552020 .
