Mental Health in Connecticut
When U.S. Mental Health America released its annual report on mental health access and wellbeing, locals in the Constitution State may have been pleased to find that Connecticut ranked second in the nation for overall mental wellness.
However, that doesn’t mean that the state hasn’t experienced its own setbacks. Data from the state government shows that 21% of adults here are living with a mental illness, while 20% of young people aged 12 to 17 are dealing with their own. In addition, finding in-network providers has been a challenge for locals.
Following a trend that’s plagued much of the nation, there are critical gaps in mental healthcare coverage in Connecticut. A 2024 report from the state’s Office of Health Strategy (OHS) shows that while many social workers and psychologists across New England accept Medicaid for their services, far fewer do so here. As a result, more than 1.5 million residents live in designated mental healthcare shortage zones.
Reaching this group and removing barriers to care can help the state keep wellness top of mind while improving accessibility. Initiatives like the Connecticut Health Strategy are dedicated to improving mental healthcare funding, growing the behavioral health workforce, and expanding non-clinical direct support to individuals and families.
