McLean County Frequent User System Engagement (FUSE) Program has joined 'Street Outreach' with Home Sweet Home Ministries, Project Oz, YWCA McLean County Labyrinth to provide services outside of the office to meet our unhoused community were they are at!

This is about more than offering resources; it's about building relationships, listening without judgment, and reminding people that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.

We’re grateful for our dedicated community partners as they prove meaningful change can start with something simple: showing up.

The 9th Annual McLean County Behavioral Health Forum is a free, in-person event that brings together community members, professionals, and organizations to explore key behavioral and mental health topics impacting McLean County. This year's theme, In Full Bloom, celebrates the growth and well-being that can happen when people are given the right conditions to thrive. It recognizes that behavioral health often starts small with a conversation, a new skill, a moment of connection, or an idea; and with the right support, those small beginnings can grow into meaningful change. Together, we can create conditions that help individuals and our community move from crisis toward well-being and bloom.

Don't miss this opportunity to connect, grow, and strengthen McLean Countys behavioral health network.

Continuing Education Credits, Parking, Breakfast and Lunch are provided to those who register by 10/16/2026
