A Knock At Midnight’s Family Advocacy Program is a unique initiative sponsored by the Illinois Department of Children.

Family Advocacy is designed to develop systems that help families to identify their strengths and needs. Additionally, the program implements strategies to resolve challenges and accomplish goals that improve the quality of life, leading families to self-sufficiency. 

The intent is to do everything possible to give parents a chance to make positive changes and provide a safe and secure environment in which their children can grow, learn, and thrive. We assist families in working toward reunification. Parents and caregivers also receive nonjudgmental support that encourages prevention measures.

Families are orientated and assessed for advocacy needs, violence prevention, and intervention strategies. Family management, counseling, substance abuse, and other services are free of charge and available every day of the week.
