Episode Synopsis

Jessica Gimeno is an unrelenting advocate for the disabled community. She seeks equality and representation for the individuals who historically do not "have a seat at the table".
The search for justice and inclusivity drive her work as the Mental Health Policy Analyst at Access for Living in Chicago. There she focuses on mental health parity, child and adolescent mental health, and the implementation of the Community Emergency Services & Supports Act (CESSA).

She joined MHAI Talks to highlight the services and mission of Access for Living and share the progress of CESSA implementation since the law passed in 2021.
