Behavioral Health
Our Behavioral Health Department focuses on principles of psycho-education and knowledge — helping patients understand their mental health and build skills to support their well-being.
Our department does not provide treatment. Instead, we connect patients with trusted partner clinics in the community for long-term mental health care.
If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Our department is not equipped to handle emergency situations.
What We Offer
- Intake evaluations conducted with supervising attendings
- Follow-up appointments for check-ins
- Education on coping skills
- Group sessions for psycho-education
- Mutual support and community building
Behavioral Health Group
Our Behavioral Health group meets the first Saturday of each month for psycho-education, coping skills, and community support.
Connecting You to Long-Term Care
Because we do not provide treatment directly, we refer patients to partner clinics in the community to connect them with long-term mental health services:
Hispanic Clinic
Culturally and linguistically responsive mental health services for our Spanish-speaking patients.
Connecticut Mental Health Center
Comprehensive, long-term mental health treatment and ongoing support.
If you'd like to be connected with long-term mental health services, please let our clinic staff know during your visit.
