Show Up for Chicago’s Mental Health
Every day in Chicago, someone reaches a point of exhaustion. And this year has been especially tough for Chicagoans.
From the deployment of militarized federal agents in our streets to policies cutting essential healthcare programs, punishing poverty, and criminalizing homelessness and mental illness. What’s happening right now is causing real harm to our city’s mental health.
Give today or start a fundraiser so that when someone reaches out, NAMI Chicago is there to answer.
