Access to early childhood mental health support can change the trajectory of a child's life. Brightpoint ensures every family has a clear path to get there.
Serving over 37,000 children and families annually across 70 Illinois counties, the Schaumburg Marletta Darnall Center brings those services directly to Schaumburg Township (Cook County) residents.
Brightpoint meets families at every stage. From prenatal support, home visiting, and a doula program to mental health services for children and youth ages 4-21, their programs address the whole picture. The Bright Futures program, funded through SAMHSA, places a full-time therapist and clinical intern at each early childhood center. For families navigating more complex circumstances, Brightpoint provides child welfare and family preservation services for children at risk of DCFS involvement, and advocates at the state level on behalf of early childhood intervention. Most insurance and Medicaid accepted.
If you work with children, youth, or families in the northwest suburbs, Brightpoint belongs in your referral network. Families can start at brightpoint.org, where pre-application is available online in English and Spanish.
