Abstract
The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) is partnering with Chicago Public Libraries (CPL) to increase access to no‐barrier mental health services by offering mental health care in select library branches, the city of Chicago reported in a news release on March 24. The program is part of the recent expansion of mental health services by CDPH and partner agencies to all 77 community areas in Chicago as part of the #All77 campaign. “By including CPL branches in our robust network of community‐based mental health centers, we will further lower the barriers around critical mental health services for all Chicagoans,” Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot stated. The services are staffed by CDPH mental health clinicians and are an outgrowth of CDPH's effort to expand services outside the walls of clinics and into community‐based settings. Services are available to everyone ages 13 and older, regardless of insurance, immigration status or ability to pay.
