Pointing to kids whose mental health hangs in the balance, workers at Roseland Community Hospital on Friday urged hospital executives to scrap plans to suspend service at its adolescent behavioral health unit as they revamp the program.
Tremaine White, a mental health counselor, said the suffering of mostly Black kids on the South Side who end up at the unit during perhaps the lowest points of their lives will inevitably be prolonged because of the suspension. There’s a lack of similar services offered in the area, White said.
When grandparents raising their grandkids are at the end of their rope, “we are their last hope” to address behavioral issues and keep the family together, White said during a virtual news conference.
