Ep. 35 – Mental Health & Non-Competes in Illinois
Episode 35
Friday, 2 May, 2025
Earlier this year, an amendment to the Illinois Freedom to Work Act invalidated non-compete clauses that would make it more difficult for a veteran or first responder to obtain mental health services. Without timely access to proper mental health care, these groups are at a higher risk of developing conditions like PTSD from their line of work. Partner Amit Bindra unpacks the new amendment with Operations Manager Angelia Salgado, a licensed professional counsel (PLC) who holds a master's in clinical mental health counseling. They discuss the law from the perspectives of both the legal field and the mental health industry. Amit provides background to Illinois non-compete law and explains how exactly this law changes things, while Angelia explores how mental health providers should modify their practice going forward, from introducing new paperwork to educating their teams on the amendment.
