2013 Annual & Quality of Care Report
A Year of Spreading Hope
CHR is the most comprehensive behavioral health provider in Connecticut, committed to helping
people find Real Hope for Real Life through a wide range of high quality, mental health, substance
use and supportive housing services
for children, adults and families.
Our Mission
is to provide treatment, support, rehabilitation, prevention
and education through a well-trained, dedicated staff of professionals committed
to recovery. These efforts are completed in an environment which utilizes resources
to ensure that care is delivered to those most in need, utilizing up-to-date service
technologies with effective outcomes.
Our Vision is to be the first
choice for high quality mental health care,
addiction services and supportive housing in
Connecticut. Known for clinical excellence,
exceptional customer service and a culture
of flexibility, CHR will be a valued partner in
the healthcare system. Our goal for every
individual and family member served by
CHR is to restore hope, provide care
and celebrate progress.
CHR’s history dates back
to the 1960s, and since its
creation it has become
a well-respected service
provider and trusted
community resource.
Today, we employ more
than 650 experienced staff
members who provided
services to over 16,000
individuals in the past
year. We offer effective,
accessible, and affordable
behavioral healthcare
through our 80 programs
and 32 locations.
CHR is also one of the only community-based behavioral
health providers to offer same-day access to care.

CHR’s behavioral health programs have spread hope to more than 16,000 adults, children and
families this past year. Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated in the positive outcomes of our
clients and the improved health of our communities. Fifty years ago President Kennedy signed the
Community Mental Health Act, establishing a bold new approach to mental health. He envisioned a
community system focused on prevention, treatment, education and recovery. As the most
comprehensive behavioral healthcare provider in Connecticut, CHR strives
to represent President Kennedy’s vision.

Voices of Hope
“
“
I am so happy that I found CHR’s
Community Support for Families
program. When I started I was standoffish
and distant, but the staff at CHR treated
me like someone they cared about
and that really helped me open up and
gave me more confidence as a mother
and as a person. I was losing hope and
they helped me turn my life around.
”
I was overwhelmed by the generosity and
support I received from CHR. Everyone I
have worked with has been very kind and
empathetic and I can’t say enough about
the great job they are doing. Sometimes
life throws you a curveball and you
need someone to help you and tell you
that everything is OK. That is what
CHR has done for me.

Child & Family Services
We know that life brings real challenges for children and their families. At CHR, we offer
real hope. Every day, we see positive outcomes unfold. Children discover ways to cope with
difficult issues, strengthen relationships and succeed in school. Families learn how to
better communicate and discover that new beginnings are always within reach.
No two children or families are the
same. That is why CHR’s Child and Family
Services offers a full range of treatment
options from office-based interventions to
in-home programs. Our clinical services
include, Child and Family Outpatient
Services, Emergency Mobile Psychiatric
Services, Multi-Dimensional
Family Therapy, Adolescent Substance
Abuse Treatment, Integrated Family
Violence Services, Foster Care, and
Intensive In-Home Child and
Adolescent Psychiatric Services.
In the past year, these
services have produced
outstanding results, including:
• 94% of families expressed overall
satisfaction with the services their
children received through the CHR
Child and Family Outpatient Clinics.
• 85% of families felt their children
got the help they needed.
• 84% of families stated their
children’s behavioral symptoms
had stabilized or improved
through CHR’s services.
5
In addition to clinical treatment, CHR’s Child and Family Division also provides
foster care programs, residential care, community supports for families,
and many other home and community-based services.
These services also saw numerous
positive outcomes in 2013 including:
• 95% of caregivers who were served by the Community Support for Families
program felt that as a result of the program they were better able to manage
their families and care for their children.
• 92% of the children served by CHR’s Reconnecting Families program were
reunited with their families after their parents received
services through the program.
• 80% of the children and youth served had no psychiatric emergency visits or
hospitalizations while receiving services, and 95% were living at home by the
time they were discharged.
• The number of children placed in foster homes through CHR’s Therapeutic
Foster Care program more than doubled.

“
“
Voices of Hope
I am so grateful to have the staff at CHR
in my life. I am able to share things with
them and they always give me positive
feedback. Without their help, I don’t
know where I would be now.
”
Thank you for all the hard and consistent
work you have done in helping me obtain
an apartment over the past few months
from a Homeless Shelter in Connecticut.
As a Veteran of the United States Navy,
I have been very impressed with your
professionalism and dedication. I hope
that if there will be a need, any Veteran
would feel comfortable obtaining your
help at any time in the future. If it
weren’t for CHR, my future would
not have been so bright!

outpatient treatment, partial hospital/intensive outpatient programs, crisis intervention and emergency
services, community-based outreach services, supportive housing, supported employment services and
residential programs. Working together, we help each person define his or her unique needs, identify

expectant mothers and women with children also successfully completed treatment.
