Independence Center
Can Help!
It is to enhance the quality of life, promote independent functioning, and facilitate personal growth for adults with a history of mental illness. Independence Center provides ongoing social, educational, vocational, and housing opportunities to achieve this.
IT'S FREE! Vote for us in the Target app to direct Target funds that support our work. You probably already have a lot of votes accumulated and don't even know about them. You will find them in the app, under My Target, Community Support Votes. If you don't see us in your list of participants, please change your store zip code to 60085 so we will come up in the list.
We are honored and excited to announce that we have been chosen to participate in a special charitable giving campaign, sponsored and funded by Target. And you have the chance to help direct a portion of Target’s donation to us!
Now through June 30 vote for us through the Target Circle program to help determine how Target’s donation will be divvied up. Find out more about Target Circle here: www.target.com/circle
We’re asking our supporters to help us make the most of this incredible opportunity. Every vote counts to help us receive a portion of the available Target funds as we continue our mission to support individuals impacted by severe mental health conditions in improving their quality of life, fostering independence, and promoting overall wellness. Everyone has the potential for improvement and deserves to be treated with dignity, support, and inclusion in their journey to recovery.
Don’t forget, as you earn more votes, you can keep voting multiple times during the campaign!
Thank you for your support, and we encourage you to share your support for us (and your thanks to Target) on social media throughout the duration of the voting!
As a dedicated advocate for mental illness, the Independence Center is reaching out to you today to request your support in fulfilling our critical needs through our current wish list. Your generosity will make a tangible difference in the lives of those we serve. Thank you for considering our request.
We are dedicated to promoting and supporting our community's mental health and substance use treatment needs.
Independence Center started accepting individuals in 1989 after a two-year fundraising and planning effort by Lake County residents seeking assistance for mentally ill family members. It became evident that the resources needed by those with chronic mental illness were not readily available. If these family members and other afflicted community members ever had a chance at living satisfying, healthy, and productive lives, we would support them on their recovery journey. As our name implies, we help individuals gain, maintain, and retain the skills needed to remain independent.
To date, we have served over 4,000 individuals. The most common disorders among them include bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia, or other psychotic disorders.
Members come to us from all over Lake County. Their ailments don't care about their skin color, religious affiliation, or household income. Regardless of their differences, they are the same in their struggles to rise above their mental illness.
