Canvas of the Mind Gala 2025

Mental health is a cornerstone of well-being, yet access to quality mental health services remains a challenge for many individuals and families across Chicagoland—especially in historically underserved neighborhoods.

Our nonprofit organization is committed to educating the next generation of therapists and providing accessible and affordable mental health services to adults, teens, and children throughout the city. With your partnership, we can expand the number of well-trained mental health practitioners and the access to treatment that alters life trajectories and fosters a healthier, more resilient community.
  • Expand the number and diversity of well-trained mental health therapists.
  • Provide grief counseling for young people struggling with trauma and loss through the Barr-Harris Children & Family Grief Center.
  • Make quality clinical care accessible and affordable through the sliding-scale fees offered by the Treatment Center and by community partners.

Here’s the type of impact you will have:
