C4 is proud to partner with ILCHF to achieve their mission of improving community-based systems of care that treat children holistically and focus on prevention, wellness and education. Through the School Wellness Initiative, ILCHF brings together C4 and George Rogers Clark Elementary School behavioral health staff, and the school community’s parents to create an innovative and responsive project to determine the best approach to respond to the local mental health needs of the school community.
C4 has partnered with the City of Chicago for many years and engaged as both grantee and thought-leader to address a myriad of behavioral health challenges across the city. Most recently, C4 partnered with the Chicago Department of Health as a Trauma-Informed Center of Care, to pilot a unique model of care embedded in West Side communities to address the trauma needs of youth before having a crisis event.
The Illinois Department of Human Services and Division of Mental Health continue to be vital partners in fortifying the response to existing and emerging service gaps for the diverse needs of Illinois’s most vulnerable. With their ongoing support, C4 has been able to fortify our ability to equip individuals to heal within their home and community through support for both our Mobile Crisis Response team and Drop-In Center.
Since 2017, the Grant Healthcare Foundation has supported the Behavioral Health Primary Care Learning Collaborative, comprised of 21 FQHCs, 14 CMHCs, and four care management entities, including CountyCare. C4 has been the lead agent since its inception and with our partners we pursue collaborative solutions to address health and mental health disparities across Cook County.
The Fry Foundation has provided continued support for front-line providers and administrators of the health and mental health safety net in Cook County to take collaborative action on systems-level barriers through the Behavioral Health Primary Care Learning Collaborative.
SAMHSA is currently partnering with C4 to embark on a two-year project to address the acute needs of youth with Serious Emotional Disturbance needs and individuals living with Serious Mental Illness and integrate substance abuse services into our service delivery model. Together we will support individuals to rediscover their strengths on the path to healing and thriving within their community.
C4 is proud to have renewed our contract with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing in support of harm reduction and related community psychoeducation services through our Substance Use & Recovery department. Through the Building Community Capacity grant program, the National Council funds community outreach and no-barrier harm reduction access, including large-scale community events, the purchase of harm reduction supplies, and short-term early intervention psychoeducation services for people who use drugs and their supporters.
Through the Community Benefit Grant Program, Northwestern Medicine provides invaluable general operating support for C4’s rapid response and youth-facing services as we expand to meet growing demand and advance the availability of responsive clinical programming to the diverse needs of Black and Latine community members.
Every year, C4 publishes an Annual Report that showcases our human and organizational resilience. It is our mission to continue helping people every day, all year long.
