Connecticut’s Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) – Prevention and Health Promotion Division collaborates with the state’s five Regional Behavioral Health Action Organizations, including the Hub, to fund the community-based Local Prevention Councils (LPCs). LPCs are coalitions consisting of stakeholders from 12 identified sectors. These coalitions aim to stimulate the development and implementation of local prevention activities for people of all ages. LPCs also address social emotional health, given the strong relationship between substance misuse and mental health disorders.
LPCs are coalitions consisting of stakeholders from 12 identified sectors. The Hub supports LPCs through regional coordination, technical assistance, and funding, including recent Strategic Opioid Response (SOR) grants.
