Mind Body Co-op became a Certified B Corporation in April 2023; joining a movement that identifies and celebrates companies with positive social and environmental impact. The Chicago-based outpatient mental health treatment center has 2 locations and shares this distinction with more than 2,500 companies in more than 50 nations worldwide and among the 54 B corps in Illinois. It is the only outpatient mental health practice that has been B corp certified in the United States.

Mind Body Co-op shares the B Corp community’s view that society’s most challenging problems cannot be addressed by government and non-profits alone and supports the B Corp mission of working to reduce inequality and poverty levels, promote a healthier environment and stronger communities, and create more high-quality jobs that have both dignity and purpose.

Part of Mind Body Co-op’s directive is to support the B Corp “Declaration of Interdependence,” which states:

• That we must be the change we seek in the world.
• That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
• That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
• To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are dependent upon one another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.
