HOLISTIC SUPPORT FOR THE ENTIRE SCHOOL COMMUNITY:

Our partnership brings the full scope of Chicago Integrated Health's services directly to the CICS community. We believe that when staff are supported and students have access to compassionate care, the entire community grows stronger.

For Students & Families: Healing-Informed Care, Right at School
We provide a safe, welcoming space for students to receive compassionate support that meets them where they are. Our healing-informed care addresses trauma, builds resilience, and promotes growth through a variety of accessible options:

• Mental health therapy to navigate challenges and build resilience.

• Wellness check-ins and groups to support social-emotional growth.

• Flexible access through both on-campus sessions and secure Telehealth (virtual sessions), ensuring continuity of care whether at school or home.

• Family resources that extend care and understanding beyond the classroom.

This dual model ensures students and families receive consistent, personalized attention in the safe spaces you know and trust, empowering you to flourish both academically and personally.

For CICS Staff: Wellness to Help You Thrive

We provide dedicated resources to support your well-being, both personally and professionally. This includes:

• Professional development training on wellness and trauma-informed practices.

• A supportive resource hub to ensure you feel equipped and empowered.

• Weekly on-site chair massages to offer direct stress relief and physical renewal, helping you recharge without leaving campus.

• These intentional offerings are designed to complement your incredible work, providing holistic support to reduce burnout and foster a resilient, supportive school environment.

Together, we’re building a foundation where every member of the CICS community can learn, heal, and flourish.
