CDPH recently launched the City of Chicago’s first Street Psychiatry model, a structured plan of care incorporating psychiatric and medical services being provided directly to people in community settings to close gaps in treatment and support continuity of care.
CDPH designed the model around the needs of the City’s highest-acuity population, specifically people experiencing homelessness or housing instability who are living with complex behavioral health needs and may not consistently connect with traditional care. The innovative behavioral health approach remains relatively uncommon nationwide, with New York City and Los Angeles among the few cities that have established similar models.
Ryann Billitteri (Projects Administrator) speaks with Chicago’s first Street Psychiatrist, Dr. Sam Jackson, about what this program of care entails, how it intends to extend care outside traditional clinical settings, and what drives the necessity and compassion for such treatment.
