First responders see some of the worst things one person can do to another. But sometimes they may avoid getting help for mental health issues because they are afraid of what it could mean for their job. A new bill is designed to protect police officers from worries about keeping their spot on the force if they seek mental health help. Illinois State Police Director Leo Schmitz says no one should worry about keeping their job.

 

 

 

The bill was signed by Governor Bruce Rauner this weekend.
