Lawrence Hall

How do you measure the mental wellness of your community? To mark BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, we honor the unique challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and see what difference you can make — locally, nationally, and globally — to ensure everyone has access to care, safety, and mental health resources. Lawrence Hall is proud to offer trauma-informed guidance and therapies to BIPOC communities all across Chicago.

With summer in full swing, our Creative Therapies team kicked off the season by taking a group of our CFTC students on a camping trip! It was a fun, revitalizing trip full of gorgeous views and lasting memories like making pizzas on the open fire, roasting smores, and catching fireflies. Where will your journeys take you this summer?

For the Associate Board's June event for our Child and Family Treatment Center youth and staff, they brought in a fun — and safe — game of bubble soccer, and shared lunch with our youth afterwards. Everyone had a great time!

While our Garden of Serenity was glad for the torrential Chicago rain, we stayed dry and held our 2026 Garden Reception indoors! After our Board's Annual Meeting, we got a deep dive into the 50-year history of our Therapeutic Day School, we honored our community partners, awarded youth scholarships and our Volunteer(s) of the Year, and celebrated some exciting organizational shifts!
