The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) wants fairgoers to know that Help is Here. The annual Illinois State Fair will highlight a range of human services programs this year, offering attendees the opportunity to learn about and access important human services at the IDHS tent. The annual fair, which will take place from August 8 to 18 in Springfield, aims to provide an inclusive and educational experience for all visitors.
Throughout the fair, IDHS will provide more information on food, medical, rehabilitation services, supports for individuals with disabilities, IDHS jobs, youth development and violence prevention programs, substance use prevention and recovery, gambling disorder services, mental health resources, suicide prevention for Veterans, and many other programs. Attendees will also have the chance to engage with IDHS case workers, allowing them to gather information and seek assistance, if needed.
The IDHS tent will highlight the agency’s six divisions, including: Developmental Disabilities, Early Childhood, Family and Community Services, Mental Health, Rehabilitation Services, and Substance Use Prevention and Recovery, along with its Office of Firearm Violence Prevention, Office to Prevent and End Homelessness, Serve Illinois, and staff from IDHS Human Resources.
