At ThriveWell Counseling Solutions LLC, we provide skills-building and development services to support individuals experiencing functional difficulties related to mental health conditions. This service is offered as part of our outpatient programming in Chicago, Illinois. It involves structured instruction provided to the individual, their legally authorized representative, or primary caregiver. Each training session addresses areas where mental health symptoms interfere with performance at home, in social settings, or within school or work environments. The overall aim is to help participants increase their ability to handle daily responsibilities more independently.
