Community Mental Health Program

 The Beecher Fire Protection District is pleased to offer a Community Mental Health Program for residents of our fire district. The goal of this program is to enable our community members to access long-term solutions for mental health issues and get out of the revolving door of emergency room visits for chronic mental health issues. Our Community Risk Reduction officer is available throughout the week to address the needs of district residents and assist them with obtaining longer-term care.

                This service is provided by cooperation between the Fire District and Washington Township, along with Thriveworks, the Will County Health Department, and Senior Services of Will County.

                If you or someone you know needs non-emergent assistance with a mental health issue, please reach out to Assistant Chief Tim McGannon today to get started.
