CHICAGO, June 11, 2024 ~ MindSite News, the nation's only news outlet dedicated to reporting on mental health, has announced the opening of a new bureau in Chicago. This expansion is made possible by the support of three major foundations: the Reva and David Logan Foundation, the Field Foundation, and the Sozosei Foundation.
Founded in 2021, MindSite News has been committed to shedding light on the mental health crisis in the United States and exploring potential solutions. With this new bureau in Chicago, they will be able to focus on specific issues facing the city and its residents.
