Step Up Assistance Program (1:1 Peer Chat, Peer Support Groups, Local Resources)

At Step Up Assistance Program in Wheeling, IL, we are dedicated to providing vital resources and services to families in crisis through our compassionate Helpline. Our 1:1 Peer Support Chat allows individuals to work closely with a Peer Chat Facilitator over a span of 1 to 8 weeks, fostering personal growth and resilience. We also offer Step Up Peer Support Groups that engage participants in activities like meditation, relaxation exercises, and educational resources in a friendly and supportive environment. Our goal is to facilitate meaningful conversations about mental health, encouraging storytelling and sharing of tools that help individuals reach important milestones.
