Big thanks to our friends at NAMI Illinois for spending the day with us at NAMI Illinois!

From peer support and workforce development to our CRSS intern program, it meant a lot to show how we’re serving our communities.

We appreciate your visit, your kind words, and all that you do to strengthen mental health care across the state.
