Improving Access to Care and Expanding Equity
We are focused on providing the most responsive care every day, living our values. In each of the communities we serve, we are engaged partners in the work of countless local groups that serve underrepresented populations, providing a seamless connection to care and access, and addressing health disparities.
Some examples across our state, from our Community Mental Health Center grants to partner with community providers to provide training for behavioral health staff on topics, including cultural and linguistic strategies to engage and retain diverse populations and to address mental health needs:
- Agape House (Bristol)
- West Indian Social Club (Harford)
- African Caribbean American Parents of Children with Disabilities (Hartford)
- Southington PRIDE (Plainville)
- Madre Latina (Waterbury)
- And many more!
The COVID PANDEMIC's IMPACT ON CONNECTICUT COMMUNITIES OF COLOR
Partnering with the West Indian Social Club of Hartford, and Madre Latina in Waterbury, we look at the COVID pandemic and its impact on communities of color in Connecticut, as well as the way forward for us all.
SUPPORTING AND LIFTING THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITIES WE SERVE
We are also deeply committed to the values and principles of the Human Rights Campaign's Healthcare Equality Index, and are the only community health center in the state listed as a Top Performer. Within our service continuum, our LGBTQIA+ responsive service line, Walk With Me, provide peer support and treatment, as well as community linkages, for the LGBTQIA+ community across central Connecticut, and is a model of care.
In addition, we host an active LGBTQIA Advisory Board, as well as Parent and Family Support Groups. Visit our Events page for more information and the latest upcoming meetings.Click on the images below to learn more about some community engagements and partnerships in the last several months!
