Talk to Someone
Finding an appropriate source of support starts with knowing where to look.
Chicago health resources
The Chicago Department of Public Health publishes information about services and city health programs. Visit the city’s website for current service details.
Finding professional support
A primary care provider can be a starting point for discussing mental health concerns and possible referrals. The National Institute of Mental Health offers guidance on preparing for that conversation.
Preparing for a conversation
Write down the concerns you want to discuss, including how long they have been present and how they affect your daily activities. Bring questions about care options and follow-up.
If someone is in immediate danger, seek local emergency assistance. This editorial website does not provide clinical care or receive requests for urgent support.
