Options and Advocacy for McHenry County

Dear Friend and Families,

Effective immediately, ALL Options & Advocacy home visits and group activities are cancelled. For Early Intervention (Child & Family Connections) all services are suspended until April 15. We will continue to accept new referrals. The referral process will be handled via e-mail, phone, and mail.

For the HUG program (Helping Us Grow) all in-person visits are suspended at this time including Group Connections. We will be conducting phone and other virtual visits to support our families.

For the ARC (Autism Resource Center) all home visits and groups are cancelled at this time. Again, we will strive to support our families via phone and e-mails.

We have also decided to cancel all support groups and events hosted by Options & Advocacy. This would include:

Child and Family Connections (Early Intervention) Play Groups
Parent Support Group Meetings including HUG Group Connections
Sibshops
P.A.L.S. Group
Hang Out Groups

Please know that all of your Service Coordinators, Family Educators, and Advocates are available via phone and email if you have any questions or concerns.
