Winnetka IL Social Services
I am often impressed to discover some of the services that Winnetka offers its residents. Whether a program through the Township office (that would benefit the entire township) or the programs offered through other local organizations, they are so varied and amazing. Some are free and others charge a small fee
A short list:
-
The New Trier Township offers the services of a medical ethicist who is available daily between the hours of 10am to 2pm. Peggy McDonnell is available to assist residents in resolving problems dealing with health care issues. To make an appointment with her, please call 847-609-3934
-
The North Shore Senior Center charges for its services only what you can pay them. Just a few examples are: escorted transportation services, home delivered meals, income tax assistance, Medicare information and assistance, support groups for hearing loss, low vision, and Parkinson's. 847-784-6000.
-
New Trier High School offers supports to its students including social and emotional learning, special education services, student leadership opportunities, and of course, academic support. 847-446-7000.
-
Counseling Center of the North Shore is a non-profit community service organization that offers affordable counseling and psychotherapy. They are offering parents the opportunity to talk with a therapist about "learning differences" that may be affecting their child. Call 847-446-8060 to arrange a free "Learning Differences Chat."
- The Josselyn Center has a Family Support Group that meets twice a month for parents of adults struggling with mental illness to provide support for each other. Another monthly meeting benefits women who have had a spouse die, gone through divorce, are dealing with aging parents, or retirement. Call to find out more: 847-441-5600
That's the short list. You don't have to go far to get many needed services or help in Winnetka.
