Building Healthy Communities - Behavioral Health - Cook County Department of Public Health Building Healthier Communities: Behavioral Health Initiative To respond to the rise in anxiety, depression, and substance use as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cook County Department of Public Health (CCDPH) allocated $24 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to support 31 partner organizations across priority areas of suburban Cook County.
In June 2024, CCDPH announced nine new grants aimed at addressing mental health needs identified by schools. These grants support school-based partners and the three suburban regional offices of education in providing educators with professional development, assessment tools, and ongoing support.
The nine new grants also include funding for four community organizations that were supported through other CCDPH initiatives, ensuring continued community-based support for local behavioral health initiatives.
