Open Door Provides Help That’s There When It’s Needed Most

Categories // Training

One of the programs operated by the DuPage Federation on Human Services Reform is a crisis intervention program called Open Door, located in the office of the Illinois Department of Human Services office in Villa Park. People who visit the IDHS office in crisis, but whose needs are not met by the resources available at DHS, are referred to Open Door. We assess their needs and then connect them with whatever resources may exist in the community.
