Treatment Not Trauma Opening Events for Photovoice Project exhibit

Photovoice presents the photographs and narratives of Latinx residents on the southwest side to show how the community context in which they live helps shape their mental health and informs their experiences accessing mental health services. Photovoice is a collection of 50 photos that were captured through a community-based project with the Collaborative for Community Wellness, the Dominican University School of Social Work, and the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council .

Chicago needs treatment programs to heal our neighborhoods. The citywide campaign for Treatment Not Trauma seeks to create a 24-hour crisis response hotline for mental health-related emergencies and to reopen Chicago’s shuttered mental health clinics.
