The Connecticut Women's Consortium is the resource in Connecticut for women's behavioral health.

We are an independent nonprofit agency in New Haven with a history of strong collaborations with many of Connecticut's community, academic and health care institutions on issues of women's mental health, substance use disorders, addiction, domestic violence and trauma.

The Connecticut Women's Consortium offers education and training about the complex lives and competing needs of women and their families to health care providers, clinicians, educators, social service agencies, and the media. We advocate on behalf of women at the Capitol, speaking with policymakers, analyzing policy, and serving on statewide task forces and initiatives that address a wide array of women's issues.

Although The Connecticut Women's Consortium is not a direct service provider, we can identify the population we represent as all of Connecticut's women, across their life spans, who are struggling with mental health and substance use disorders, interpersonal violence, access to respectful and consistent health care, and the stigma associated with these concerns. Women most in need of services are poor, parenting, at risk of homelessness, and without resources for health care, education, and job opportunities.
