MAY was MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS MONTH

It's crucial to highlight the importance of mental health within our police department. Law enforcement officers face unique challenges and stressors in the line of duty, making mental health a critical aspect of their overall well-being.

Our Foundation furnished quiet rooms in all Chicago Police districts to ensure our officers and support staff have a quiet space to decompress and reflect.

These quiet rooms were recently featured on WGN. Click HERE To learn about other valuable support the CPF provides.
