We were proud to host President Toni Preckwinkle, Commissioners Alma Anaya and Bridget Degnen, Dr. Tom Nutter and the Cook County Health team, and our amazing board member Nikki Lynette at NAMI Chicago’s office today as we announced new efforts to expand access to mental health care across Cook County. In addition to launching a new text and chat option for our NAMI Chicago Helpline, we’re expanding peer-led support in high-need communities and rolling out a countywide awareness and engagement campaign. Huge thanks to our partners and champions for mental health. The work continues.

About us
Mental health affects everyone, no matter who they are or where they are from. That's why NAMI Chicago is committed to showing up for everyone in our community—whether it’s Chicago’s first responders, students and school staff, a person on the other end of the phone, or in the community, meeting individuals where they are. NAMI Chicago knows that we heal on a community level. At NAMI Chicago, we have the courage to believe that healing is possible. We work tirelessly, seven days a week to create a world that prioritizes mental wellness, and to bridge people into the care and support they deserve to live thriving lives of recovery. NAMI Chicago is the local Chicago affiliate of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. We are one of the largest, most active NAMI affiliates in the country, with full-time and part-time staff, graduate level interns, and weekly volunteers. We are growing and looking for dedicated team members to support our mission. View current career opportunities: namichicago.org/careers

Coercion and institutionalization do not create safety. Inflicting more trauma on those already suffering will not help them heal. This not only defies reason. It is deeply immoral. Read our full statement here: https://lnkd.in/gsU7Auqa
