The vehicle has couches and art, and it is powered by solar panels. Therapist Sarah Andrews came up with the idea three years ago, and the mobile therapy unit began traveling to communities in July, with hopes of normalizing receiving mental healthcare by making it more accessible to those in need.

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.
