Update : All WIC EBT services are back up and running.

The WIC system is temporarily down. You will not be able to use your WIC EBT card until the system is fixed. We will keep you updated thank you for your patience.

Illinois' WIC processor is currently down statewide. Your WIC card will not work at any store throughout the state. The state of Illinois is actively working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Your WIC agency is not able to help with this issue. Updates will be posted on the IDHS website. Thank...

As we close out this month, it’s important to remember that healing is about so much more than simply reducing symptoms. True recovery means building a life that feels stable, connected, and meaningful. It’s having a safe place to call home, relationships that support and uplift you, and the tools and confidence to keep moving forward—even on the hard days. That’s the heart of whole-person care: recognizing that mental health and substance use recovery touches every part of a person’s life. When all those pieces come together, healing becomes sustainable—and hope becomes real.
Here’s to every step taken this month, big or small. 💙
