Mayor Brandon Johnson has announced plans to reopen the Roseland Mental Health Center and two other mental health service sites in Chicago. This initiative is part of his 'Treatment Not Trauma' campaign promise to expand public access to mental health care. The additional sites will be located at the Legler Regional Library and the Chicago Department of Public Health's vaccine clinic in Pilsen. Johnson emphasized the importance of these services, noting that his brother's life might have been extended with proper mental health care. The reopening of these clinics, expected by the end of this year, marks a significant shift in Chicago's approach to city-run mental health services, which had been cut back for decades. Johnson revealed details of this plan on Thursday morning.
