Mental Health Resources

Dear Addison School District 4 Families,

 

We are committed to creating a culture of well-being of students, staff, parents, and community. In an effort to continuously support this commitment, the district has entered an agreement with ReferralGPS.

 

ReferralGPS is a web-based service focused on assisting our students, staff, and community in finding local mental-health and substance use related treatment. The service compliments the districts existing systems of support as a tool for student service teams and families to connect with treatment. Along with a searchable database of treatment options, ReferralGPS provides Care Navigation to assist families in triage, appointment setting, and follow up care.

 

School district staff and families may access ReferralGPS in two ways:

  1. Contact Student Services (social workers, psychologists, counselors) to seek our treatment options.
  2. Visit this link at https://referralgps.com//find-help/ASD4 to search for treatment resources or connect with a Care Navigator anonymously.

ReferralGPS takes into account all types of private and public insurance including PPO, HMO, Medicaid, Medicare, and families who are uninsured or underinsured. The platform also filters by age, gender, zip code, and special requests.

 

ReferralGPS is available for use by district students, staff, and families at no cost. All information entered on the ReferralGPS tool is completely confidential and securely stored.

 

Please note, this service is an optional resource available by choice and is not mandatory in any way. If you are interested in seeking counseling-related services at this time, please consider reaching out to the Student Services team or visiting https://referralgps.com//find-help/ASD4

 

Sincerely, 

 

Dr. Nick Sutton

Superintendent

Call4Calm Emotional Stress service available
Call4Calm, línea de texto de apoyo emocional gratuita

The Illinois Department of Human Services’ Mental Health Division has launched a free-of-charge emotional support text line, Call4Calm, for Illinois residents experiencing stress and mental health issues related to COVID-19.   Individuals who would like to speak with a mental health professional can text “TALK” to 5-5-2-0-2-0, or for Spanish, “HABLAR” to the same number: 5-5-2-0-2-0. Call4Calm is free to use, and individuals will remain anonymous. You will then receive a text, asking for your first name and zip code to connect you with a health care professional in your area. Once a resident sends a text to the hotline, within 24 hours they will receive a call from a counselor employed by a local community mental health center to provide support.  

Individuals can also text 5-5-2-0-2-0, with key words such as “unemployment” or “food” or “shelter” and will receive information on how to navigate and access supports and services.
