BEACON Lights the Way for Families in Crisis

BEACON is the state’s new online portal designed to help Illinois families connect to behavioral health resources. Available for use by state agency staff, healthcare providers, schools and families, it streamlines the process of finding and accessing relevant services to help ensure that every child in Illinois can receive the support they need. This portal can match families with the programs that provide the help they’re eligible to receive. Our guest, Dr. Dana Weiner, helped create the portal and explains how it works. 

You can explore BEACON at beacon.illinois.gov.
