The Chicago Community Healing Project

  • Résumé

  • We believe in community healing - healing through giving and receiving community care. We believe that everyone wants to get involved in their community, but maybe doesn't know where to start. Our goal is to provide you with the information, tools, and direction you need to make a difference in your community. Join us biweekly for a conversation about mental health, social justice, and community action. Through these conversations, we’ll guide you in ways to get involved in your community, with actionable steps you can take to get started. Be sure to check out our resource guide at chicagocommunityhealing.org for a list of organizations, contacts and first steps to get started.
