LinkUp Chicago

LinkUp Chicago is a new hotline that offers culturally-competent support and resources for Chicago’s Black gay and bisexual men who use meth.

We believe that community and connection can save lives. LinkUp Chicago exists to connect men to safe social and spiritual resources that allow them to thrive.

Too often, the shame and stigma surrounding meth use force our community to suffer in isolation and silence. We believe that conversation is the antidote to stigma, and connection is the solution to fear. We believe everyone deserves a safe place to land - a place to be heard, to be believed, and to belong.
