ensure that citizens are involved in determining and monitoring
the mental health services provided by the State of Connecticut
In 1975, Connecticut decentralized its delivery of mentalhealth services. There are five mental
health regions in Connecticut. Each region is made up of catchment
areas.
Each catchment area has a Catchment Area Council (CAC), and each region has a Regional Mental
Health Board. These advisory councils and boards were established to
ensure that citizens from every town in Connecticut will be actively
involved in determining and monitoring the kind of mental health
services that will be provided in each catchment area by the
Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
