A group of “dedicated parents” founded Trinity Services in 1950 as a small school for children with developmental disabilities, according to a news release from Trinity Services.

Trinity Services continued to grow through the years and now offers a wide range of support services for people with disabilities and mental illness, according to the release.

These support services include autism services, community day services, counseling services, employment services, residential options, a school program, crisis prevention and intervention services, intensive outpatient services, homeless support services and a therapeutic horseback riding program, according to the release.

In 2021, Trinity Services opened a Living Room in Orland Park, a program that diverts mental health crises.
