Mental Health

We believe that mental illness is both common and treatable.

Envision Unlimited is a certified Community Mental Health Provider offering a full complement of behavioral health services to people with a variety of mental health concerns. We are committed to assisting clients their best and meaningful lives. 

Core Services offered through our Ravenwood Center

Screen and Assessment. All clients receive a comprehensive assessment that determines the identification of behavioral health disorders consistent with DSM-5 and ICM-10.  The document that we used is the Illinois Medicaid Comprehensive Assessment of Need and Strengths (IM+ CANS). 

Treatment Planning. Clients and staff complete the Integrated Assessment and Treatment Planning (IATP), which is an integrated service plan that ensures an individual’s assessment of needs and strengths are clearly documented and lead to specific treatment recommendations and review of information to formulate a diagnosis and service interventions. The IATP must be completed once every 180 days. 

Care Coordination. Our nurses and care coordinators work with individuals with mental illness to access a range of different medical, psychiatric, substance use treatment together with other services addressing the social determinants of health. in a way that helps them get better and works towards their recovery. It involves interactions between different clinicians and health care providers, the individual, family members, and other significant persons.  Our goal is to improve the health and functioning of people with mental health problems. It is especially helpful for mental health consumers who have complex mental and physical health care needs, previously living in long-term care settings and transitioning to the community. These individuals are particularly at risk of ‘falling through the cracks’ because they are involved with multiple agencies and individuals who are helping to address their care needs.  Therefore, we work with multidisciplinary teams, psychosocial support providers and self-management, in addition to clinical treatment.
