Healing Trauma

UCAN has a variety of programs designed specifically to create a healing process for those who have experienced trauma.  These programs range in intensity to meet the individual needs of our clients.

Clinical & Counseling Services (CCS) provides outpatient therapy to people who have experienced trauma.  Working with youth, adults and families in a variety of settings, CCS is prepared to help clients address complex issues including abuse, neglect, separation & loss and domestic violence.  We create individualized treatment plans to meet the needs of our clients.  A variety of payment options are available for this program. 

Professional Foster Parenting (PFP) provides foster homes to youth in need in Cook, Lake & McHenry counties.  Our success depends on the willingness and commitment of our trained foster parents who ensure our youth have a safe, caring home while efforts are made to create a safe environment for the youth back with their natural parents.
