Background/Context
PA 13-178 was one of the CT legislature’s responses to the
shootings in Newtown
• Sponsored by Sen. Dante Bartolomeo and Rep. Diana Urban (co-chairs,
Children’s Committee)
History of fragmentation in CT’s behavioral health system
• Access based on insurance type, system involvement, geographic location,
race/ethnicity
• Approximately 40% Medicaid; 28% commercially insured; 28% employee-sponsored plans
• DCF, DSS, DMHAS, DPH, SDE, CSSD, DDS, DRS, OEC
Growing recognition of the impact of trauma
Importance of full service array, including promotion, prevention

Summary of Information Gathering Process
13-178 directed Department of Children and Families
(DCF) to develop the Plan:
• In collaboration with other state agencies/systems
• DCF to own the process and product but engage partners in
ongoing implementation
• Limited internal capacity to produce the Plan
DCF contracted with CHDI to facilitate input gathering
process and Plan development
• January 2014 to September 2014 (9 months)
• Balancing scope of work with time/resources
