We are so proud to officially announce the opening of Thresholds' Center for Mental Wellbeing - South, a new addition to our existing location and expansion of our mental health and substance use services on Chicago's Southside. Thresholds has proudly served Chicago's southside communities for more than 50 years! And with the expanded services offered through the Center for Mental Wellbeing (a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic), we will be able to help even more people, regardless of their ability to pay, throughout their lifespan. This has been years in the making, and we are so thankful for all the people who got us yesterday, including our staff, board of directors, donors, community members and elected officials. And a very special thank you to all the staff who endured years of construction, never letting it interrupt our vital services. This is all for you, because of you! #thresholds #homehealthhope #chicago #southsidechicago #mentalhealth

For decades, we've committed to providing quality, inclusive, and accessible mental health and substance use treatment to people who need it most. We know that recovery is possible, and we're here to help you on your journey, however you need us. #WorldMentalHealthDay #WorldMentalHealthDay2024 #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #thresholds #homehealthhope

Thresholds is proud to have his knowledge, experience and leadership on our board of directors, where he holds an officer position as assistant secretary. “What I've tried to do is be thoughtful around identifying roles where I’ll really be able to speak to social determinants of health and what that means for health care and what that means for Black and Brown communities,” he says. https://bit.ly/3YioZ6f #40under40 #crainschicago #crains40under40 #congratulations

It's Mental Illness Awareness Week ?? shining a light on mental illnesses and the ways they impact our lives. If you're in a room of 10 people, chances are at least two of those people are living with a mental health condition. It is also likely that someone you know and love has a mental illness that affects their daily life. At Thresholds, we have been helping people with serious mental illnesses and substance use conditions for 65 years, providing affordable, accessible and equitable treatment, housing, healthcare, and so much more. Above all, we believe that recovery is possible. This #MentalIllnessAwarenessWeek, we encourage you to share one (or all) of these images and be part of the conversation to help end the stigma around mental health! #mentalhealth #MentalHealthAwareness #mentalillness #mentalillnessawareness #thresholds #homehealthhope

The Rush Oak Park Community Engagement Council provides feedback to the hospital and the Office of Community Health Equity and Engagement on issues of interest in the Oak Park community. Thresholds’ Community Engagement and Equity Coordinator, Rosy joined the council earlier this year and was featured in the latest edition of the Rush Oak Park Hospital Community Connections e-newsletter!? ? "I truly believe the state of the mental health of our most marginalized local communities is a crisis. And unfortunately, so much of that is due to the lack of access to locally grown food or grocery stores, unaffordable housing options, lack of training for mental health support in the workplace, inclusive and safe public third spaces, supportive re-integration into society from the carceral system, multi-generational acts of relational repair from intergenerational trauma. I could truly go on. A way that our council can help support the mental health needs of the local community is by organizing and promoting consistent mental wellness fairs where organizations addressing these barriers are brought together in one place to provide information through workshops, support groups and even confidential in-person intakes to get further services.” #communityengagement #mentalhealth #mentalhealthequity #oakpark
