Healing Families... Transforming Lives
The Family Institute is dedicated to strengthening and healing families from all levels of society through direct care, professional education and clinical research. The Institute provides counseling and psychotherapy for children and families throughout the Chicago metropolitan area. It also operates nationally-renowned graduate education programs and conducts mental health research in affiliation with Northwestern University.

Contributions help support all of these programs, including a sliding-fee Clinic and community-based mental health care for disadvantaged families. Nearly one-third of all direct care is provided free of charge or at reduced fees to clients of limited means.
