Spero Family Services, a leading provider of comprehensive family support and intervention services, is thrilled to announce the successful addition of new locations in Springfield, Marion, and Murphysboro. Plans are underway for a soon-to-be-opened site in Effingham later this summer.

These expansions are a testament to our commitment to extending our highly effective Wraparound program to even more communities, ultimately reaching more individuals and families in need.

Founded in 1913, Spero Family Services has been a trusted resource for countless families throughout Illinois. With our main campus in Mount Vernon, Spero has witnessed a growing demand for our services in recent years. Recognizing the critical need for quality support that enables families to stay together, Spero has taken proactive steps to expand our presence and impact.

These new locations allow Spero Family Services to enhance our Wraparound program.

Wraparound is an intensive, strengths-based, and family-driven process that supports families staying together. By providing a holistic and individualized approach, Wraparound ensures every family receives the necessary tools and resources to achieve sustainable positive outcomes and reach the goals identified by them.

With over 1,300 individuals served annually, Spero Family Services has already been making a significant difference in the lives of community members for over 100 years. However, with the recent expansion, the organization is poised to extend its reach and positively impact even more individuals and families across the state.

"We are thrilled to introduce our Wraparound program to Springfield, Marion, Murphysboro, and soon Effingham," said Tabitha Reaney, Associate Director of Community Services at Spero Family Services. "We understand that rural communities often face resource limitations, and by expanding our presence to these locations, we aim to bridge the gap and provide essential services to those who need them most."

Spero Family Services currently serves over 30 counties in Southern Illinois, offering various support services, including counseling, parenting education, and advocacy. Spero remains committed to expanding its service offerings in the coming years, ensuring that individuals and families receive comprehensive care and support at every stage of their journey.
