In 2014, Connecticut developed the Behavioral Health Plan for Children, which outlines a blueprint for implementing a comprehensive and integrated system of care for behavioral health services to effectively prevent, identify, and treat behavioral health needs for all children in the State. The plan set goals and strategies and an implementation advisory board was created to guide plan implementation.
The work to expand this system into an integrated “network of care” is being carried out in partnership with Connecticut’s Connecting to Care initiative with the goal of meeting the behavioral health needs of all children in Connecticut.
