The program will be offered at library branches in the Mount Greenwood, Beverly, Blackstone and Edgewater neighborhoods. These areas were selected because they are places with few no-barrier mental health providers. 

Individuals 13 and older can be seen by clinicians regardless of ability to pay, insurance or immigration status. 

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
