Between August 26, 2020 and March 3, 2021, the Collaborative for Community Wellness surveyed community residents across the city of Chicago to assess mental health needs and barriers to accessing services. Consistent with findings from past research, data indicated that despite a high demand for mental health support, limited availability of free services impedes community residents from addressing their mental health needs and attaining optimal well-being. There is also an overwhelming demand for mental health services through the Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) public mental health centers, however a large majority of the survey respondents were unaware of their existence.
