Across the country, people are becoming more and more aware of mental illness and how it needs to be taken more seriously to ensure the success of those afflicted with mental health issues. Connecticut’s suicide rates fall lower on the spectrum, says WRVO Public Media, than other states. The state also has one of the highest rates of mental health coverage as far as resources and services go. However, the state has reportedly been seeing a recent increase in its suicide rates, which has worried Mental Health Connecticut, a nonprofit that wants to raise money to help lower suicide rates.
Luis Perez, the CEO of Mental Health Connecticut, says that though it seems on the surface that Connecticut has a good handle on the mental health care of its people, there is still a need for services that is not being met. His organization aims to help change that problem.
