CROSSPOINT Human Services was formed in 1980 by combining the services of the Vermilion Mental Health and Development Center incorporated in 1955 and the Retarded Children's Center incorporated in 1964.

CROSSPOINT is a private, not-for-profit Illinois Corporation serving Vermilion County. It is governed by a voluntary board of directors representing Vermilion County, with consumer participation.

CROSSPOINT believes that all people should have every opportunity to realize their highest possible level for a productive and healthy life in their community. It is CROSSPOINT's mission to provide quality human services in a competent and reliable fashion to individuals, families and the community. Services are available to persons of any age, without regard to race, religion, national origin, handicap or ability to pay. CROSSPOINT is an equal opportunity employer.

CROSSPOINT serves persons experiencing emotional, familial, or marital stress or more severe, acute or chronic psychiatric disabilities. Other persons served experience developmental delays or mild to profound disabilities. Some experience both mental and developmental disabilities. Each of these three groupings has some individuals who abuse drugs. That behavior exacerbates an already difficult situation in treatment.

CROSSPOINT services includes Case Coordination, Crisis Intervention, Counseling, Therapy, Social and Daily Living Skill Training, Psychotropic Medication/Prescription Administration, Medication Counseling Training, Representative Payee  Occupational, Physical and Speech Therapy, Housing, Transportation, Community Education and Consultation, Psycho Social Rehabilitation and Vocational Development and Placement.

CROSSPOINT is licensed by the Department of Public Health to operate a community living facility, is licensed by the Illinois Department of Human Services to provide Medicaid Mental Health Services, Community Integrated Living Arrangements, and Day Training and is accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Services for Families and Children, Inc.

CROSSPOINT Human Services provides a domestic violence shelter, temporary housing, for women and their children who are escaping an abusive home environment.  Support services, including assistance with securing an Order of Protection, are available free of charge.  CROSSPOINT is also part of a statewide network of 30 domestic violence agencies committed to the prevention and elimination of violence against women and children.

In 2008, CROSSPOINT assumed responsibility for running programs formerly funded by Your Family Resource Connection.  CROSSPOINT provides a residential program, transitional housing, for women and their children who are homeless.  Women work toward individualized goals while in this program and work together with their counselor to obtain permanent housing.  In 2008, Your Family Resource Connection received funding from the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence, the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault, the Illinois Attorney General's Office, Federal Crime Victim Assistance Funds, the Illinois Department of Human Services, the Vermilion County Mental Health 708 Board, the Danville Area United Way, and community contributions.

CROSSPOINT operates a child day care center for children ages birth to five years of age.  The center provides education, recreation, balanced nutrition, and socialization for the children.

CROSSPOINT is funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Illinois Department of Human Services, Illinois Department of Public Aid, Vermilion County Mental Health 708 Board, United Way, donations, fees and private contracts with long term care providers.
