About ROSC
Recovery Oriented Systems of Care ROSC is a network of organizations and services within the community that provides resources and solutions to those in or seeking recovery, family, friends, and the community.
ROSC Councils build collaborations in their communities that connect everyone who can support recovery. This may include local hospitals, primary care, mental health, law enforcement, local business owners, local government representatives and policy makers, persons with lived experience and SUD intervention, treatment, prevention, and recovery support service providers.
Illinois Department of Human Services' Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (SUPR) has implemented local ROSC Councils in numerous communities through its Recovery Oriented Systems of Care - Illinois Statewide Network (ROSC-ISN) program.

About the Recovery & Well-being Series
These educational meetings have been held monthly since 2007 and were formerly known as "Recovery and Empowerment Statewide Calls." These meetings are for all people living with mental health or substance use challenges. They are uniquely and specifically designed to provide education and support for individuals participating in publicly funded mental health and/or substance use treatment and recovery services in Illinois.
About Staff Participation
Staff are welcome to listen in as well. However, the primary purpose of the meeting is to ensure that individuals participating in services have an opportunity to receive information, ask questions, and provide input.

Kates Community Initiative ROSC Council
Kates Community Initiative (KCI) is committed to transforming lives and strengthening neighborhoods through comprehensive, community-rooted recovery support. We empower individuals impacted by substance use, incarceration, and mental health challenges by providing direct pathways to healing, workforce development, and long-term self-sufficiency. Our mission is to break cycles of recidivism and relapse by addressing the social determinants of recovery—employment, housing stability, peer support, and mental wellness. As part of our Recovery-Oriented System of Care (ROSC), KCI will concentrate its efforts in Burbank, Ashburn, and Auburn Gresham East—communities disproportionately affected by addiction, overdose, untreated mental illness, and systemic barriers to reentry. Through holistic services and strategic partnerships, we aim to restore dignity, opportunity, and purpose to every life we touch.
