Illinois Crisis Prevention Network

What Illinois Crisis Prevention Network does

Illinois Crisis Prevention Network (ICPN) is a private, Illinois-based non-profit collaborative partnership founded in 2010 between Hope (est. 1957) and Trinity Services (est. 1956) under a grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services – Division of Developmental Disabilities (DHS-DDD). Its core function is delivering community-based crisis-prevention and consultative clinical services to children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD), many dually diagnosed with mental illness, who are at risk of displacement from their current placements. Referrals are routed exclusively through the DHS-DDD/state service-coordination system, and services are provided to individuals and families at no cost.

The core product is the Support Services Teams (SST) program, delivered through six physical offices covering the full geography of Illinois: Rockford, Hillside (Chicago), New Lenox, Peoria, Springfield, and Carbondale. ICPN staffs approximately 80 skilled clinicians across these sites — psychologists, board-certified behavior analysts, behavior specialists, licensed clinical therapists, QIDPs, registered nurses, medical doctors, and a pharmacist — delivering multidisciplinary intervention grounded in evidence-based methodologies including Applied Behavior Analysis, Functional Communication Training, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, and person-centered planning. Service-level commitments include first contact within 24 hours of referral and first observation within 72 hours. Since 2015, ICPN has layered on a Professional Development Initiative offering free, CEU-accredited workshops across 15+ professional specialties and ACE-provider status through the Behavior Analyst Certification Board for BCBA/BCaBA continuing education, distributed in-person and via Zoom with recordings posted to YouTube.

The business model is a single-payer state-grant model: DHS-DDD is the sole funding counterparty, services are free at point of delivery, and there is no fee-for-service billing, private-pay revenue, or fundraising arm documented in the source material. The organization has cumulatively served 6,000+ individuals since 2010 and has no subsidiaries, M&A activity, outside investment, or pending expansion beyond Illinois. Distribution is entirely referral-driven through the state DHS-DDD pipeline, and revenue diversification does not appear in the current operating model.
