The newly formed Lake County Mental Health Coalition, co-chaired by Lake County Board Chairman Aaron Lawlor and the Honorable Susan Garrett (former IL State Senator, 29th District), recently held its first introductory meeting. The group had a productive and positive discussion pertaining to community change as it relates to mental health, development of systems to share data, and the need to address stigmas associated with mental health. The next steps will be to identify the mental health services already in place and how we can provide a unified approach to delivering these services throughout Lake County. In this video, Lawlor and Garrett discuss the work of the coalition.
