The CTBHP is designed to create and provide timely access to an integrated, high quality behavioral health service system for Connecticut’s Medicaid populations, including Husky A, B, C (Aged, Blind and Disabled) and D (Low Income Adults). 

Goals of the Connecticut Behavioral Health Partnership are to:

  • Provide access to a more complete, coordinated and effective system of community-based behavioral health services and supports;
  • Support recovery and access to community services, ensuring the delivery of high quality services in order to prevent unnecessary care in the most restrictive settings;
  • Enhance communication and collaboration within the behavioral health delivery system and with the medical community, thereby improving coordination of care;
  • Improve provider network access and quality; and
  • Recruit and retain traditional and non-traditional providers.
