Creating Pathways
To Change
To Change
Through conversation and connection, Amplify helps communities assess their behavioral health needs, identify gaps in services and develop their plans to advocate for the most effective resources available.
Although the name Amplify is new, it stands on the shoulders of decades of experience. Amplify has built a depth of knowledge of behavioral health treatment and care across the lifespan, from childhood to older adults. Amplify guides people through the rapidly changing models of care toward those that will best fit their community’s needs.
OUR MISSION

To strengthen the ability of our region to assess needs, develop plans, and advocate for strategies and resources to advance healthy communities.
Our Geographic Scope
Amplify is contracted to serve the 37 towns in North Central CT but our influence can be felt statewide. Clusters of towns in this area are combined into six Catchment Areas that receive behavioral health services as a unit. Thirty-four Local Prevention Councils work at the grassroots level to raise awareness of substance misuse prevention and early intervention services.
