Our Mission:

At Chicago Mental and Life Wellness Institute, we promote a safe and nurturing environment where all youth have the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential mentally, socially and emotionally.

 

 This is done by providing a healthy environment where youth learn life skills, mind health, and coping strategies. The pillars of equity and inclusive practices remains as our daily goal with an expectation of excellence from youth and our professional team.

This will be accomplished by:

Understanding that all youth do not learn in the same way or at the same time.

Partnering with local schools, home, and community to address the divergent needs of the whole person.

Advocating for a safe and nurturing environment for all youth, that is free from violence, conflict and unnecessary disruptions, by creating non-traditional mentoring and mind health opportunities that allow for emotional healing.

 Core Values

  • We take responsibility for the well-being of student’s emotional and physical health. We put structures in place to assist students, families, and employees feel supported and protected in order to do their best.

  • We are intentional with providing equitable support and multiple opportunities for all students.

  • We gather and use research to create innovative and distinctive ideas to engage our students.

  • We communicate, plan and work in a collaborative fashion to do what is best for students. This is done through an on-going communication, effective interpersonal relationships, dependability, and doing the right thing in all circumstances, even if no one is watching.

  • We believe in flexibility and the process of solving problems, and coping with change and challenges.
