Aunt Martha's offers a variety of programs and services designed to provide a full continuum of care for children, teens and families.  These resources form a spectrum of care that includes:  child welfare, community based, healthcare, juvenile justice and prevention services.

Aunt Martha's Youth Service Center and Aunt Martha's Healthcare Network is a private, not-for-profit,
regionally-based agency providing complete health and social services for family members of all ages across Illinois.  Aunt Martha's has services in nine counties across northeastern Illinois and cares for over 39,000
Illinois residents.

The agency is state licensed to provide child welfare, substance abuse treatment and child care services.  All services, including mental health and primary health care, are accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.  Aunt Martha's is also a United Way partner agency.

Aunt Martha's believes in:

• giving every child quality care in a supportive home
• comprehensive assessments and counseling to stabilize individuals and families
• providing high quality, affordable and accessible health services for individuals and families
• giving youth and families the knowledge and options to succeed
• offering community resources to promote healthy choices, nurture development and encouragement

These beliefs are what help to convey the concept of the name "Aunt Martha's" - a warm family atmosphere that young people and families experience when they seek our services.

Aunt Martha's reputation as a caring community resource is embodied in the tireless dedication of its more than 900 employees.  As one former client put it,

"The world will give up on you ... but Aunt Martha's won't."
