When our family moved to Northbrook, one of the first things we did was transfer our Family YMCA membership to the North Suburban Y. I wanted to work out and get my daughter involved in Y classes, but she had a lot of separation anxiety. All my worries disappeared after I discussed my daughter with the Director of Child Services. The staff worked with my daughter and me, enabling her to not only get over her anxiety but gain social skills that have helped her develop into the well-rounded child she is today. Thanks to the Y staff that always treats our family as one of their own.
