Community Impact Collective: Policy & Behavioral Health

Join Family Solutions and Young Invincibles for an evening of connection, conversation, and community-building.
About this Event

Join Family Solutions’ Community Impact Collective (CIC) and Young Invincibles for an evening of connection, conversation, and community-building focused on the future of behavioral health in Illinois.

Family Solutions is a Chicago-based behavioral and mental health organization committed to Creating Brighter Futures for youth, adults, and families. Through the Community Impact Collective, Family Solutions brings together community partners, service providers, advocates, and organizations to build meaningful connections, share resources, and strengthen the network of support available to the communities we serve.

For this CIC gathering, we’re excited to partner with Young Invincibles to create space for both community connection and policy conversation.

Young Invincibles will share highlights from their Illinois policy agenda, with a focus on the behavioral health workforce pipeline and efforts to strengthen the future of the behavioral health workforce.

We’ll also hear about resources and opportunities through the Illinois Student Assistance Commission (ISAC), including loan forgiveness programs that may support professionals pursuing or working within behavioral health and other public-serving fields.

What to expect:

• Community networking and relationship-building
• Highlights from Young Invincibles’ Illinois policy agenda
• Conversation around the behavioral health workforce pipeline
• Information about ISAC resources and loan forgiveness opportunities
• Drinks, conversation, and time to connect with fellow community partners

Whether you work directly in behavioral health, support communities in other ways, or simply want to better understand the policy landscape impacting Illinois, we invite you to attend!

Come connect with fellow community partners, learn about opportunities and resources, and leave with a few new connections.

Hosted by Family Solutions’ Community Impact Collective, Co-Hosted with Young Invincibles with Support From Wintrust
