History & Overview

The Township of Schaumburg Mental Health Board (MHB) was established in 2022 following the passing of a township-wide ballot referendum. The MHB oversees an annual levy to provide services related to mental health, developmental disabilities, and substance use disorders (MHB Service Areas).

As mandated by the Illinois Community Mental Health Act (405 ILCS 20, et al.), the MHB is required to do the following as they relate to MHB Service Areas:

  • Identify the needs within the Township.
  • Consult agencies providing local services.
  • Disburse funds for direct services.
  • Submit a written plan and annual reporting for community services.
  • Meet at least quarterly to execute the functions of the Mental Health Board.

Volunteer members are appointed by the Township Supervisor and typically serve four-year terms. In addition, one member of the Township Board serves on the Mental Health Board. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and interested individuals who reside in Schaumburg Township may apply through the below application.

 

Grant Application

The Mental Health Board is currently accepting grant applications from agencies providing services related to mental health, substance use disorders and developmental disabilities to Schaumburg Township residents. This includes preventative programs and intervention services. Contact President Bob Ogilvie at president@tosmhb.org for more information.
