Cornerstone Services

Coordinated Case Management includes advocacy, linkage and referral to other needed services and resources.

In conjunction with treatment services, Cornerstone offers the services of board-certified psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners. This treatment includes a psychiatric evaluation and follow-up medication management, if needed.

This group is open to parents, siblings, and other family members of an individual who receives services at Cornerstone. This is intended to teach about the agency and various resources available and answer questions about state and federal benefits. The Parents and Family Group is an opportunity for family members and guardians to engage with the agency, learn about important issues and events, and socialize with other families. Meetings are usually held four times a year. To find out about the next meeting, contact Cornerstone at 815-741-7602.

24-hour crisis intervention services are available. A knowledgeable crisis counselor will be there for you--face to face during normal business hours or by phone after hours-- any time of day. If you are experiencing a psychiatric crisis, Cornerstone will provide you the support you need to get through it. Some of the evidence-based practices Cornerstone provides include: Individual Placement and Support (IPS) employment services, Wellness Recovery and Action Plan (WRAP) 12-week workshop, Harm Reduction, Seeking Safety and other trauma-informed services, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy.

Outpatient Therapy provides adults who have a diagnosed mental health condition or co-occurring substance use disorder with therapy on a scheduled and ongoing basis. As a consumer of these services, clients will be able to meet with a qualified therapist on-site for individual and/or group therapy services. Sessions may address general symptoms or a specific problem such as low self-esteem, poor impulse control, depression, or unresolved trauma and grief. Clients may also have a case manager assigned to them.
