Our MISSION: To create a peer network to help navigate our complex social community and provide mental health support to one another.

Living in Hinsdale and attending Hinsdale Central, we have first-hand experience of the daily struggles teens in our community face. We experience a great deal of social and academic pressure that can affect our mental health. Collectively, we can do more to improve our mental wellness . History has taught us that the best people to help those struggling are the ones who have gone through similar experiences. Alcoholics Anonymous is a groundbreaking organization showing us how peer support can help others. Our mission is to create a similar peer network to help one another deal with stress, anxiety, and mental health issues. We hope that “Chase Light” will provide education and support to our community and be just the beginning of new ways of addressing the mental health crisis in our current world.
