Thresholds President and CEO Mark Ishaug joined Karen Tamley, CEO of Access Living, and Barry C. Taylor of the University of Chicago on WTTW News to discuss the shocking Department of Justice’s recent memo and its potential impact on disability rights, mental health rights, and community integration.⁠

Four years ago, Thresholds expanded our services to include Mobile Crisis Response, bringing compassionate, community-based crisis care directly to people when they need it most.

Since then, our teams have been there for neighbors during some of their most difficult moments, providing support and a path toward care. This work is made possible by the dedicated staff, partners, and supporters who help us continue expanding access to these critical services.

If you missed Mobile Crisis Response’s spotlight at our 2026 Gala, check out our video featuring Thresholds staff and clients sharing the impact of compassionate crisis response and what these services mean to the communities we serve: https://bit.ly/3RlP57y

Happy Anniversary, MCRT! Thank you for all you do! Here's to many more years of expanding across Chicagoland.
