Creating Pathways
To Change

Listen. Assess. Recommend. Act.

Creating change starts with deep listening. Providers, residents, leaders and policy makers all have stories and ideas that can strengthen their communities. Amplify listens, offers expert advice and guides advocates toward solutions built on the foundation of evidence-based approaches that promote wellness and enhance the lives of those struggling with mental health, substance misuse, problem gambling and other behavioral health issues.

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.

Amplify stands on the shoulders of decades of experience. We offer a depth of knowledge about behavioral health prevention, treatment and recovery-focused care across the lifespan.

Amplify promotes best practices to help you and our communities live well and be well.

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.
