Abstract: Chicago is taking behavioral health care beyond traditional clinical settings with a new street psychiatry program designed to engage people experiencing homelessness, serious mental illness and substance use disorders who may be disconnected from care. Part of the Healthy Chicago Mental Health Collective (HC‐MHC), the initiative sends multidisciplinary teams into shelters, encampments, transit areas and other community settings to provide psychiatric and medical services directly to those who need them.
