What is the Vision for Treatment Not Trauma in Chicago?
Universal, barrier-free access to mental healthcare and community wellness programming.
Comprehensive behavioral health services and holistic wellness services at all facilities, as a baseline, with multi-service offerings based on the local community needs.
City-wide non-police crisis response teams as first responders, integrated with CDPH public mental health centers.
A fully-staffed, unionized public Community Care Worker Corps of peer support specialist and the like, across both crisis and continuous care.
A localized community wellness center board to drive accountability and agency on the quality of care and services at our local facilities.
