CHR's Women's REACH program recently attended the UCFS Recovery Resource Fair, a community outreach event hosted by UCFS Healthcare to connect individuals and families with addiction treatment, mental health support, and local recovery services. Thank you to Kelly Shepard, CPSRP, Recovery Navigator, for attending and sharing more information about Women’s REACH.

The Women’s REACH Program (funded by CT DMHAS) is designed to provide outreach, engagement, short-term case management, recovery coaching, and connections to community and recovery support resources to women with substance use or co-occurring disorders, with eligibility prioritized for individuals who are pregnant and/or parenting. In addition to women, services are available to expectant/parenting individuals who have been impacted by substance use (either personally or by the use of the child’s parent), such as parents, caregivers, and partners of REACH clients.

There is no wrong door for referrals – self, provider, and community-based program referrals welcome! Call CHR’s Triage Line to learn more: 1-877-884-3571.

CHR's Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Training with Veterans Rally Point!

Your family may be starting a new chapter. This could also be the perfect moment to help a child or teen in foster care start theirs.

If your children are grown and your home feels quieter these days, fostering might be a good option. Empty nesters often have the experience, patience, stability, and space that children and teens in foster care need most.

In CHR’s Foster Care program, we believe families are powerful. Whether you have children or teens, are an empty nester, or grandparent, you may be in a great position to make a lasting difference in a young person's life.

As a CHR Foster Parent, you will receive comprehensive support, including training at the beginning and along the way, as well as staff who are available to help you 24/7.

Ready to learn more about fostering as a family? Call 860.730.8727 or email [email protected].

When people in recovery share their stories with friends, family, policymakers, neighbors, and faith communities, they build a supportive and knowledgeable community where nobody is left to struggle alone. Recovery is strengthened through relationships, belonging, meaning, and purpose.

Everyone deserves a path to recovery. CHR builds and uplifts your existing support network as you navigate your recovery journey. Contact CHR’s Triage Center or visit our website for more information at 1.877.884.3571 or www.chrhealth.org.
