LAN 82  

Family Centered Services Resource Directory - November 2001

The C & A LAN 82 or Local Area Network is organizations which provide services to children/adolescents and their families in the Chicago communities of South Shore, Avalon, Chatham, Greater Grand Crossing and Burnside.

What is C & A LAN and what is its purpose?

     

The Child and Adolescent Area Network (C & A LAN) was created out of a challenge to reform the mental health systems of Illinois.  Illinois School Board of Education, Department of Mental Health, Department of Disabilities, Department of Substance Abuse and the Department Children and Family Services have joined together in a commitment to support LAN's as a system to maintain children in their communities.  The intent for the LAN's structure is a local system, which has the flexibility to deliver services quickly and which is based upon the individual need and strengths of children and families.  A common value, shared by the state agencies, supports the wraparound philosophy of unconditional care that allows children with emotional/behavioral disabilities to receive services they need without leaving their schools or communities.

LAN 82 Family Centered Services

The LAN 82 Family Center Services Initiative is a compilation of three (3) separate programs whose primary focus has been to assist families in  an effort to reduce stressors and negative situations in their lives that have in the past lead to child abuse/and or neglect.  LAN 82 is a geographically defined area, as well as a Community Based Program, which provides a platform for collaborative planning.  LAN 82 has a voluntary, inclusive membership of child welfare and community stakeholders residing within the LAN.  LAN 82 works with the Department of Children and Family Services to plan, develop, and deliver a contractually linked array of services to meet the safety and protection needs of children and families.

The programs are:

Family Advocacy is designed to assist families in learning effective parenting skills and stress management.  In addition, the Family Advocate ensures that families are connected to the appropriate services within the community or outside the community.

After School Program exposes children to tutoring sessions, arts and crafts, and field trips to expose children to areas outside of their communities.  This program is being offered to students at Madison Elementary and South High School.

Job Training Program will assist youth and adults in developing interviewing skills and locating open jobs.

Adoption and Time Limited Reunification assistance is offered to families who have adopted, are in the process of adopting or thinking about adopting.  Services are also offered to families who are in the process of being reunified.

Resource Coordinator assists youth and adults in finding support services within the boundaries of their LAN.

Families living within the boundaries of LAN 82 are eligible to receive services from Family Centered Programs.
