ABOUT
Western Connecticut Coalition
WCTC is a Regional Behavioral Health Action Organization (RBHAO).
Here at WCTC, we deliver our services through the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), a data-driven, evidence-based prevention model developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The SPF requires States and communities to systematically:

Assess their prevention needs based on epidemiological data.

Build their prevention capacity.

Develop a strategic plan.
-
Implement effective community prevention programs, policies, and practices, and
-
Evaluate their efforts for outcomes.
