July is Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to recognize that while mental health challenges can affect anyone, people from racial and ethnic minority communities may face additional barriers to care, including stigma, language differences, cultural factors, and limited access to services.
The Village of Carol Stream’s Police Department Social Services Unit is committed to helping all residents access compassionate, culturally responsive mental health support — this month and every month.
