Connecticut is committed to having a behavioral health system that provides families the care they need, when they need it. This website lays out the state’s vision, plan, and current work for creating a behavioral health system that meets the needs of all children in Connecticut.
An Integrated, Collaborative Effort
Connecticut’s Behavioral Health Plan for Children provides a blueprint for meeting the mental, emotional, and behavioral health needs of all children in our state.
Two statewide initiatives working together since 2014 to improve care options for families and make sure children have timely access to effective behavioral health services.
Connecting to Care is a partnership to improve children’s behavioral health by building an accessible and coordinated system or “network of care” for children and their families.
