The Encompassing Center is so excited to be of service to the residents of North Lawndale, East and West Garfield Park, and Near Westside Communities.
We are funded by the property tax dollars of the community citizens it serves, therefore making the residents stakeholders of the center. The trained staff at The Encompassing Center meet people where they are, without judgement and do the best they can for everyone that comes through the door.

"The Encompassing Center has truly been a life saver for me. Before finding this supportive community, I struggled to manage things positively. Now, I've discovered effective coping strategies."

Client"I used to feel isolated, as if I had no one to confide in. Today, I feel heard and my perspective is valued. My sessions with my therapist have been very valuable, and participating in programs like the financial literacy class has been both enriching and uplifting. Every week, I eagerly anticipate my next time at EC."

Client"The staff is awesome. When I needed food; they got it, when I needed a psychiatrist; they had it, when I myself just recently had major surgery, they asked what was it they could do. So yes, this center is greatly needed in this community, so whatever happens please open more like it."

Client"I'm a grandparent. My grandson has been with me for most of his life so when he turned 7 it looked like our whole world turned upside down. But the Encompassing Center was introduced to our family, and this was the best thing ever that could have happened for us. Not only did the Encompassing Center help with my grandson, but also myself and my two other grandkids that I had to take in for a year."
