Our Goal to Increase South Side Mental Healthcare is Within Reach!
Our supporters have raised 95% of the $2.5 million goal to open Trilogy’s new South Side Mental Wellness Center, ensuring more access to mental healthcare for all.
There’s less than $150,000 $125,000 to raise – we need your help to achieve the goal and increase access to care! Please donate today!
Two years ago, Trilogy launched a campaign to raise nearly $2.5 million to renovate our new, 24,000 square-foot mental wellness center in the Chatham neighborhood on Chicago’s South Side, a community that has been left out of the community mental health conversation for far too long.
We asked our community to Break Down Walls for Mental Health so that everyone in Chicago could access life-saving care. Our supporters stepped up, making so much possible for the South Side: therapy for kids & teens, services for adults & families, and more healthcare for ALL.
Our goal is within reach. When we achieve it, we unlock comprehensive, integrated care for the South Side for generations to come, regardless of a person’s ability to pay. This is care that our neighbors have told us that they can’t wait any longer for. Care that has been harder to access compared to other areas of Chicago. Reaching our goal means increased access to vital care that has been needed for years.
We need your help to reach our goal. Please make a generous monthly or one-time tax-deductible gift today!
Additional Resources:
Trilogy has invested over $3.3 million into our new South Side Mental Wellness Center. But we still need help from the community to ensure that we’re able to provide the programs and service the community needs. We are calling on our community to help us reach our goal and ensure that children, teens, adults and families are able to get the help they need for years to come.
Please help provide life-saving mental healthcare on the South Side of Chicago today.
What will your gift / corporate contribution make possible? So much!
