Vision

We envision a climate for Mental Well Being in Chicago that is a model for the rest of the nation. In this climate we are a community that recognizes mental health as an essential part of overall well being. We understand that mental illness, like physical illness, is a medically treatable condition, it can develop in anyone, it is preventable, and those who experience mental illness can return to good health. As a result, there is no room for stigma.

Our agency's model climate for mental well being is the direct result of a robust collection of support, treatment, and education services that are equally accessible and adequately funded. This portfolio of services continuously evolves to meet the changing needs and priorities of individuals and families.
