1 in 4 Mental health

The 1 in 4 Mental Health Project emerged from the Ladder to Leadership program sponsored by the Community Memorial Foundation. At the culmination of this project the community felt it was urgent for this project to continue; private donors and key organizations immediately donated to this effort and the DuPage Federation assumed the leadership role for 1 in 4 Mental Health. The Federation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by leveraging relationships and knowledge to build an effective and efficient health and human service system. 1 in 4 Mental Health was in alignment with the goals of The Federation.

The DuPage Federation on Human Services Reform, a non-profit organization has been in existence since 1995. The Federation has six additional programs, in addition to 1 in 4 Mental Health, which benefit the community. These programs include Early Childhood, Language Access Resource Center (LARC), Open Door, Public Benefits Training, Soar and Community Planning.
