Expanded Mental Health Services of Chicago NFP (EMHS) is founded by a group of mental health professionals and advocates concerned about a shortage of accessible, quality community mental health services in Chicago. Their hope is to develop innovative approaches to expand access to mental health services that reflect the needs and strengths of individuals, families, and communities receiving care.
