The mission of JPA is to improve the social and emotional well-being and functioning of vulnerable children so they can reach their fullest potential at home, in school, and in our communities. This is accomplished by providing therapeutic counseling services to at-risk children and families, conducting research, sharing knowledge, and providing expert consultation and guidance to others serving t

hese children and families. JPA's New Light program, located in our Lincoln Park office, provides the highest-quality mental health services to children, teenagers, adults, couples and families. Some sliding scale appointments are available.

A big thank you to Move-tastic! for choosing JPA as part of their Move Good, Do Good initiative! We appreciate their generosity and the role businesses like theirs play in supporting the work that strengthens communities and creates meaningful impact.

💛 This week’s Move Good, Do Good donation goes to the Juvenile Protective Association, an amazing organization bringing compassionate and innovative mental health resources directly to children in need—and the adults supporting them.

That’s real superhero work right there. 🦸

We move couches and boxes every day, but these folks are helping carry emotional weight that truly matters. Huge respect to everyone involved in making kids feel seen, supported, and cared for. 👏

We are still feeling the joy and gratitude from our 2026 All In for Kids Spring Benefit! As we celebrate 125 years of serving Chicago, we are reminded that meaningful change is only possible through the strength of community. We are proud to celebrate this milestone alongside so many dedicated supporters who believe in JPA’s mission and the importance of supporting children and families across our city.

We were honored to present Robert and Patricia Moore with the Jane Addams Service Award and are so grateful to our Board of Directors, Benefit Co chairs and Committee, sponsors, volunteers, guests, and the talented students of Franklin Fine Arts Center’s Definition Chaos for making the evening so special.
