The Center of Law and Social Work (CLSW) has been preserving families, providing hope and protecting lives throughout the State of Illinois since 2003. Our mission is to achieve the best outcomes for families, young adults, and children by providing the highest quality services. All families, regardless of financial circumstances, should have equal access to legal and social work services in order to remain stable and secure. Social Workers and lawyers work together to help families with adoption, guardianship, legal back up planning, and clinical services for children and disabled adults. Since 2017, CLSW has provided counseling and advocacy for survivors of college campus sexual assault through our Porchlight Counseling Services program.
