590 Crisis Care System

Illinois Department of Human Services
State/Local Government
Illinois
US $150,000 - US $2,000,000

Illinois Department of Human Services

The Illinois Department of Human Services was created in 1997 to provide our state's residents with streamlined access to integrated services, especially those who are striving for economic independence, and others who face multiple challenges to self-sufficiency.

Our Mission: We respond to the needs of all people in Illinois so they can lead healthy, safe, and enriched lives.

590 Crisis Care System

Program Description

Building a Unified Crisis Continuum

Under the leadership of the Chief Behavioral Health Officer (CBHO), the Illinois Department of Human Services - Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery (DBHR) and the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) are partnering closely to advance a unified, comprehensive crisis response framework known as the Illinois Unified Crisis Continuum (UCC). Using the UCC framework, Illinois is adapting and implementing the Three Essential Elements of SAMHSA's 2025 National Guidelines for a Behavioral Health Coordinated System of Crisis Care: someone to contact, someone to respond, and a safe place for help. In doing so, the State is ensuring that individuals experiencing behavioral health crises, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay, have equitable access to timely, appropriate, high-quality crisis care and follow up in a community setting.

Achieving this vision requires interagency alignment on crisis service definitions and expectations, allowing for the maximization of federal financial participation through the Illinois Medicaid program whenever possible. Doing so reserves DBHR's grant funding for serving individuals who receive crisis services and are uninsured or underinsured, including those not enrolled in one of the medical assistance programs administered by HFS.

This program supports the someone to respond element of the continuum in alignment with the State's overall UCC vision and plan.
