Mental Health Connecticut is dedicated to expanding access to community-based services at both the federal and state levels, ensuring that individuals with mental health conditions can access the services they need when they need them. We also believe that to achieve systemic change for our community, we must address and dismantle the historical inequities and injustices that have shaped our country’s approach to behavioral health.
MHC supports legislation that expands access to treatment and preventative care, challenges stigma and discrimination, and elevates mental wellness to the same level of priority as physical wellness. Connecticut residents broadly support the General Assembly pursuing policies that improve behavioral health care access and quality.
The 2026 priorities include:
Learn about the landmark mental health parity law signed by Governor Ned Lamont in July 2019, which mandates that private insurance plans provide coverage for mental health services equal to coverage for other medical conditions. This law was championed by the CT Parity Coalition, which continues to work toward equity in healthcare. Contact Christian Damiana at [email protected] to delve deeper into the coalition’s efforts.
MHC workshops run for multiple weeks during Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer programs.
