WCTC MISSION
Western Connecticut Coalition's mission is to promote the behavioral health continuum of care, and to enhance quality of life at every stage.
We are a coalition of volunteers, citizens, and prevention professionals dedicated to developing and coordinating services that improve mental health, reduce substance misuse and raise awareness about available resources . WCTC focuses on individuals, families, and children living and working in the 43 towns comprising the Northwestern region of Connecticut. We facilitate the efficient use of funds, link local services, and cultivate partnerships to ensure sustainability.
Mental Health in ESG: Increasing Employer Value and Impact
Depression, isolation, and burnout now at an all-time high, have further contributed to the addiction crisis, resulting in unprecedented overdose deaths in 2021. According to the CDC, depression is estimated to cause a loss of 200 million workdays each year at a cost between $17 billion and $44 billion. At a time when shareholders increasingly analyze companies' ESG metrics to identify risks and opportunities, it's imperative to make a human capital investment in employees' mental health.
