Submitted by the office of Rep. Camille Lilly.

Oak Park, IL - This week, state Rep. Camille Lilly, D-Chicago, visited Thrive Counseling Center, a local non-profit that prioritizes mental health awareness and care for patients, to tour the facility and speak with the staff about their efforts and needs.

“Thrive offers quality care for its clients and I applaud their efforts to make ends meet during this difficult economic time that the state is facing,” said Lilly. “No matter the issue, the staff here has a history of providing excellent care and attention.”

Lilly spoke with the staff at Thrive to understand the work that the non-profit performs for individuals seeking assistance. Staff from the center also spent time expressing the challenges they are facing financially due to the lack of a state budget. The non-profit strives to build healthy minds and and to empower people to strengthen their mental and emotional well-being, serving Oak Park and other communities since 1898.

“In Springfield, we must continue our efforts to protect the most vulnerable residents, especially those that are mentally ill,” Lilly said. “Organizations, like Thrive, that are able to provide mental health awareness and care should not be the victim of drastic budgets cuts.”

Lilly represents the 78th District, which includes parts of Chicago, Elmwood Park, Melrose Park, Franklin Park, Oak Park, and River Grove. If you need to contact her office, please call 773-473-7300 or email her at StateRepCamilleYLilly@gmail.com.
