It’s (about to be) Pride Month and PTSD Awareness Month in Palatine! Mental health disproportionately affects the LGBTQ+ community. As we celebrate Pride Month, take time to reflect on the ways you can make your community a more welcoming place for all!

🏳️‍🌈 Pride Lives Here 🏳️‍🌈

Pride Month is less than three weeks away! Help make support, acceptance, and belonging visible across Palatine!

The Community Mental Health Project is proud to partner with Northwest Suburban Pride & Action Network and Glens Friends for a community-wide Palatine Pride yard sign campaign supporting local LGBTQ+ mental health programs and initiatives right here in Palatine.

With a contribution of $20 or more, supporters will receive a complimentary Palatine Pride yard sign delivered directly to their home by local volunteers.

These signs are more than decorations. They’re visible reminders that LGBTQ+ individuals and families are valued, supported, and welcome in our community.

Together, we can help build a more compassionate and inclusive Palatine for all.
