The team at HSS is excited to announce we are joining forces with Caritas Family Services under the Caritas name.

Starting October 1, 2025, two pillars of compassionate community service are joining forces to better serve Southern Illinois’ children, families, and adults with developmental disabilities or mental health needs.

We will be working closely with Caritas leadership to ensure a smooth and thoughtful integration. Neither we nor Caritas anticipate any major changes to our staffing or the services we provide. We will strive to maintain the same high level of care our clients and communities deserve.
