West Garfield Park on Chicago's West Side is an area full of beauty and strengths, as well as its own unique challenges. Some people are struggling with substance use disorders, homelessness, and mental health issues. Edna’s Circle seeks to support people in meeting these challenges and achieving the goals they want for their lives, so they can and will grow into the person they were meant to be. Our recovery space provides a base for street outreach to reduce overdoses; peer-led mutual support groups; and enhanced recovery home services with individualized medical, behavioral health, social, and spiritual supports. Our buildings are now undergoing renovation, and we look forward to welcoming you soon!
