Be a Superhero
to Change
Someone’s Life
Mental Health Connecticut is a space where people can simply be their authentic selves, without fear of judgment or stigma.  When people are treated with respect, feel heard, are provided support, and feel safe, they are given a platform to embrace their uniqueness, exceptionality, and talents- that’s what Mental Health Connecticut does. As an employee, it’s an amazing feeling to know that Mental Health Connecticut puts these values into practice every day.
Stephanie LaribeeCEO
Our agency partnered with MHC to promote cultural humility and DEI in the workplace for professionals in the disability field. Jacquilyn presented best practices such as creating a shared language and BRAVE spaces in the workplace, which 90% of the participants felt confident that they could implement in their programs. The content was easy to understand and naturally eased any nervousness around the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We highly recommend considering MHC for your workplace wellness initiatives!
Krista Opstedal, North Dakota Center for Persons with Disabilities, Minot State UniversityCEO
At a time when I really needed help, and after looking for several resources without any success, we finally found Mental Health Connecticut (MHC) and it has been a life-changing experience for me. MHC is more than a company; it is a place where your voice is always heard, and your feelings and struggles are treated with empathy and respect. The first time I met with my therapist, she came to my home, and it felt so personable and safe, that we could make an instant connection. It is important that everybody, regardless of their gender, race, nationality, economic status, or cultural background, can access mental health assistance. I believe that MHC stands for all of us.
PatriciaCEO
When I heard about Art of Wellbeing, “the studio”, I was overwhelmed with joy at the endless possibilities a space like this can offer. ..As a graduate from the beautiful Greater Hartford Academy of The Arts, I’ve entered the world with a view of endless possibilities, but with COVID and the world shutting down, a lot of that momentum was paused. Meeting Art of Wellbeing staff at the studio, I am met with that familiar feeling of joy and inspiration to create and not just to make art but to create a safe haven for all creatives looking for a reprise from the never-ending demands of life.
Gyllian CruzCEO
MHC is a place I can trust and relax. The staff are friendly and welcoming which gives me the confidence I need to share my thoughts and ask for the things I need. This helps me to have my voice heard and specifically get the physical things that I need and mental support to relax and live a full life. It is great and very rewarding because I have people I can tell my problems to and relieve my worries and I can utilize the things I learn to be a good productive member of my community.

Legacy Bequests

  • Making legacy bequests or including gifts to charity in your will is a meaningful way to leave a lasting impact. It allows individuals to support causes they care about beyond their lifetime, ensuring their values and passions continue to make a difference. Legacy bequests can take various forms, such as a specific dollar amount, a percentage of an estate, or assets like property or stocks. This type of giving can also provide significant tax benefits, reducing the taxable estate and benefiting heirs.  
  • To make a legacy bequest to Mental Health Connecticut, it’s essential to consult with a legal or financial advisor to ensure the bequest is structured correctly and reflects your wishes. By thoughtfully planning your estate, you can create a legacy that endures, supporting the work and programs of Mental Health Connecticut long into the future. To discuss this further, contact the Senior Director of Advancement.
