About The Illinois Warrior Assistance Program

The Illinois Warrior Assistance Program provides confidential assistance for Illinois Veterans as they transition back to their everyday lives after serving our country. Its goal is to help service members and their families deal with the emotional and psychological challenges they may be facing.

The program works in several ways:

• It offers a 24-hour, toll-free phoneline at 866-554-IWAP (4927), which is staffed by health professionals to assist Veterans, day or night, with the symptoms associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
• It provides Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) screening to all interested Illinois Veterans, especially those returning from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF).
• It provides eligible Veterans with additional diagnostic review and treatment for PTSD or TBI.

This website and the program are not connected to any branch of the U.S. Armed Forces or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in any way. The Illinois Warrior Assistance Program is a program of the State of Illinois through Magellan Health Services, Inc.

Any help or assistance you receive from this website or this program is confidential and will not be reported to the U.S. Armed Forces or U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' benefits claims unless the service member instructs us to do so or as required by law.
