According to a 2018 study performed by USC Schaeffer, Illinois has a higher-than-average rate of hospitalization of patients with mental illness. Furthermore, Illinois spends much less than the national average on treatment resources. Add to the mix the fact that approximately 15% of adult Illinois residents suffer from some form of depression and there’s a problem. We want to help. The following hotlines are available to all residents of Prairie State, and the last two are available nationally. If you or someone you love needs help, please call whichever hotline is most suitable, and please call today.
