This is what community looks like. 🎨💪

Our friends at Loco Estilo Ink are back for another year supporting the HRC Client Council—a group of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are elected by their peers to be their voice.

Flash Tattoo Fundraiser
📅 April 10, 11 & 12, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM each day
📍 Loco Estilo Ink — 109 N. Central St, Paris, IL 61944

Here’s how it works: get a flash tattoo, and a portion of every piece goes directly to the Client Council. Those funds support parties, field trips, and other opportunities for program participants across Edgar and Clark Counties.

💰 $80 tattoo = $20 donated to HRC Client Council
💰 $40 tattoo = $10 donated to HRC Client Council

Last year’s event was a tremendous success, and we are so grateful for the generosity and heart for service that Loco Estilo Ink brings to our community.

Come get some ink and support a great cause!

Did you know? Illinois ABLE accounts help people with disabilities save money without losing their benefits. 💰

New for 2026: Individuals who acquired a disability before age 46 may now be eligible (up from age 26). Plus, the annual contribution limit has increased to $20,000.

This is a real tool for building financial independence — and HRC can help you or your family member understand how it works.

Whether you’re in Redmon, West Union, or anywhere in Edgar and Clark Counties, our I/DD team is here to help navigate the options.

Happy International Women’s Day. 💜

To the women of Edgar and Clark Counties who carry so much — for their families, their communities, their neighbors — we see you.

Strength doesn’t always look like holding it together. Sometimes it looks like asking for help. Sometimes it looks like picking up the phone and saying, “I’m not okay.”
That’s not weakness. That’s courage.

HRC’s mental health services are here for women in Hume, Brocton, Marshall, and every community we serve. You deserve support, and healing is possible.

Weekends can be the hardest part of recovery — routines shift, isolation creeps in, and old patterns knock on the door.

But you don’t have to white-knuckle it alone. Right here in Edgar County, recovery support meetings happen every week. There are people in those rooms who understand — because they’ve walked that same road.

And remember: clocks spring forward tonight! Set those clocks ahead one hour before bed. A new season is coming — and new seasons bring new beginnings. ✨

People DO recover. Treatment works. And fellowship makes the journey lighter.

March is National Social Work Month, and we want to take a moment to honor the people behind the work.

At HRC, our social workers and counselors don’t just fill a role — they answer a calling. Day after day, they show up with a heart for service, walking alongside families in Kansas, Westfield, Marshall, and across our two-county area.

They’re the ones who sit with you in the hard moments. The ones who believe in your ability to heal — even when you’re not sure yet.

To our team: thank you. Your work matters more than you know.
And if you’re looking for that kind of support, we’re here. Help is available, and people DO get better with the right support.

Recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey. It’s personal, it’s courageous, and it’s happening right here in our communities every single day.

At HRC, we’ve watched people walk through life’s darkest storms and come out the other side — stronger, steadier, restored. Treatment works. People DO recover. And no one has to face it alone.

Whether you’re in Grandview, Marshall, Hume, or anywhere in Edgar and Clark Counties, HRC’s substance use services are here for you and your family.

💙 Want to support this work? Your generosity helps ensure no neighbor goes without the care they need.

Hat Day at 753! 🎩🤠

Some days, the best thing you can do is put on a great hat and share a laugh with good people.

That's life at HRC's Community Day Program — where the connections between staff and the individuals we serve are real, genuine, and full of joy. This is what it looks like when neighbors walk alongside neighbors.

Our Community Day Services offer individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities a place to grow, belong, and thrive — right here in Paris and throughout Edgar and Clark Counties. And if funding or paperwork feels overwhelming, don't let that stop you from reaching out. Our staff will help you navigate every step.

If you or someone you love could benefit from our I/DD services, give us a call. We'd love to talk.

Hat Day at 753!

What does a great day look like?

For participants in HRC’s Community Day Services, it might mean a trip to the library in Kansas. A morning at the park in Brocton. Lunch at a favorite spot. Shopping, volunteering, exploring.

Our “CDS Without Walls” approach means programming happens where life happens — out in the community, not behind closed doors. Because belonging isn’t something you practice for. It’s something you live.

Interested in Community Day Services for yourself or a loved one? Let us help you take the first step.
