Supporting Local Organizations
The ROSC-ISN program established networked, geographically distributed ROSC Councils the assist communities with building local recovery-oriented systems of care within the ROSC model statewide. The ROSC Councils build collaborations in their communities that connect everyone who can support recovery. The collaborators include local hospitals, primary care, mental health, law enforcement, local business owners, local government representatives and policy makers, persons with lived experience and SUD intervention, treatment, prevention and recovery support service providers.
If you and/or your organization are interested in learning more about becoming a local supporter of recovery in your area, contact your local ROSC Council.
If you are interested in forming a ROSC Council in your area, contact Johanna Gonzalez, IDHS-DBHR ROSC Coordinator (Email Johanna Gonzalez) or the Center Community Engagement (Email the CCE). In your email, please specify the county that could benefit from a ROSC, and if or how you would like to be involved starting one. The Center for Community Engagement at Chestnut Health Systems provides technical assistance and support to community groups and coalitions across the State of Illinois, including groups seeking future ROSC funding. The county is not alone. For assistance, please contact Donna Nahlik and/or Cheyney Evans at coalitionsupport@chestnut.com.
A complete list of Illinois ROSC organizations can be found on our Find Your Local ROSC Council page.
