Community Health Resources

We often overlook – or don’t understand – the importance of good mental health as a part of a healthy, fulfilling life. Mental illness, substance abuse and emotional issues are just as real as other illnesses – such as cancer or diabetes – and can have a tremendous impact on the individuals and families it touches.

CHR offers the most comprehensive array of mental health, substance abuse, child welfare, supported housing, foster care, prevention and wellness programs and integrated care services to children, adults and families in Central and Eastern Connecticut. We assist individuals in fulfilling their goals by instilling hope and providing services delivered with skill, respect and compassion. With the right help people can and do live healthier, happier lives. To access CHR’s services, make one simple call to our Assessment Center at: 1.877.884.3571 (1.877.88.HELP.1).

Every day you can positively affect the well-being of others—restoring hope to children, adolescents, adults and families, helping them live more fulfilling lives. Discover a career with CHR.

We understand the many ways substance abuse ruins lives and overwhelms families. However, treatment works. At CHR we’re ready to help with recovery so that life can be lived to the fullest.

Mental illness or substance abuse can make the idea of a healthy, fulfilling life seem out of reach. Recovery is possible. At CHR, we are here to offer hope and help.

Families should not feel alone when it comes to resolving difficult issues. At CHR, we understand and we know how to help. 

If you or someone you know needs help, CHR offers simplified access to the best options.  Call CHR’s Assessment Center at 1-877-884-3571. We are ready to listen and offer real hope.

Real life creates constant change in individuals, families and communities. We provide real hope in the form of services that help save lives, keep families together and offer an improved quality of life for everyone.
