The facility is a private/public partnership between NAMI DuPage and the Health Department to provide expanded mental health services. 

The Community Center now houses the Health Department’s 24-hour crisis services, along with their vocational training and psychological rehabilitation programs. The facility also has meeting rooms for groups, dining areas and activity spaces for health and wellness programs.
