Trinity Services Inc

Trinity Services, Inc. is a nonprofit, non-sectarian organization serving more than 3,500 children and adults who have intellectual/developmental disabilities, and people with mental health needs in more than 30 communities throughout northeast (including Chicago), central and southwest Illinois.

Trinity was originally founded in 1950 as the Trinity School in Joliet, Illinois, by a group of parents of children with developmental disabilities. The agency operated a school and “day program” until 1987.

Since then Trinity has grown to include a wide range of programs and services for children and adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities and people with mental health needs. With a dedicated staff of over 1,100 people, Trinity still operates a school, and provides residential services (group homes and other community living programs), adult learning programs, a variety of vocational programs including supported employment, respite services, in-home supports, a drop-in center, varied therapeutic services, etc.

Trinity also serves people with mental health needs though its Behavioral Health Program. The program has four major components: community living (residential) services, intensive outpatient programs, employment services, and traditional therapy supports for families and individuals. Trinity also offers counseling services to the public through its Family Counseling Center in Joliet, providing group and individual therapies. Trinity is also the state affiliate for persons with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). Additionally, Trinity operates the Illinois Centers for FASD.
