Public Newsroom #45: Finding Help, Fighting Stigma in Mental Health

6:00 pm — 8:00 pm

The mental health care system can be hard to navigate. Recent changes to Medicaid and state health care policy—not to mention the opioid epidemic and the 2-year state budget impasse—have exacerbated the problems and gaps in coverage in Chicago. City Bureau’s Fall Reporting Fellows have been digging into these issues, and we invite you to join us for a community-centered dialogue about how Illinois arrived at this point and how people can access the resources that are readily available. This event is free and open to all. Our expert panel includes people who have dedicated their lives to destigmatizing mental health and substance abuse and serving people in need of help.
