Report: About 19% of CT youth ‘disconnected’ or ‘at risk’ in 2021-22

In case you missed it, Dalio Education recently published a comprehensive study highlighting the current mental health crisis among Connecticut's youth. The study reveals that one-in-five of young people ages 14 to 26 are either at-risk or disconnected. This is a figure that escalates significantly here in Hartford and in other major cities across the state. These statistics underscore the urgent demand for youth mental health care, and the need for increased support to community health providers who provide that care. Our mission at InterCommunity is to deliver an integrated approach to health care by providing primary care, mental health care and addiction recovery services. It is paramount that we strengthen our commitment to connecting young people with these vital resources, and to do so within their local communities. The findings of this report should be a wakeup call for our state for a crisis that requires a collaborative response from the state, health officials, school systems, and community-based health providers. 
– Kim Beauregard, President & CEO, InterCommunity Health Care
