​ JFS' Mobile Pantry is open Wednesday mornings and offers a wide range of supplemental foods, including dairy, produce, grains, and prepared meals. This program, fully supported through private contributions, exclusively serves under-resourced Greenwich families.

In partnership with Food Rescue, Meals on Main, and the Friendly Fridge Network JFS has been working diligently to help address food insecurity among public school students. Local food stores and restaurants contribute surplus meals, which would have otherwise been discarded, by flash freezing them. These meals are then delivered to multiple schools across Greenwich and Stamford. A refrigerator or freezer is placed in each school, allowing students to access and microwave these nutritious meals after school, or take them home nightly or for the weekend. This initiative ensures that no child will go hungry, and can enjoy a healthy, nutritious meal at no cost to their family. The program currently serves 450 students.

The Impact of Dougy Center

Read stories about the positive impact of Dougy Center on children and families who are grieving

Brigitte Lucas began bringing her daughter, Braelynn, to Dougy Center's "Littles" group twice a month after her husband, Ethan, died of COVID just a few days before Christmas in 2021. Dougy Center is one of the few places where Brigitte, Braelynn, and Blaykley can talk about Ethan and feel safe to express whatever they need. Like other young children who are grieving, Braelynn struggled after Ethan's death as she tried to understand what happened. She was tearful sometimes, mad sometimes, and sometimes regressed to earlier developmental stages. Brigitte was amazed when these behaviors began to ease not long after they started a Dougy Center group.

I've Missed Him At Every Milestone - Bridget

Bridget was in high school when her dad died of a heart attack in 2020. Their relationship was complicated. She loved the way her more creative side came out when they spent time together, but she also struggled with how he kept a lot of his history from her. In grieving for him, Bridget's had to reckon with two things being true at the same time. The first is that in some ways Bridget's life became easier and more stable after he died. The second is the reality that she still loves him, misses him, and wishes he could be there for all the milestones unfolding in her life. This series is a part of an ongoing collaboration between Dougy Center and the New York Life Foundation. We are deeply grateful for New York Life Foundation's tireless support and advocacy on behalf of children and teens who are grieving. read more...

Sleep Laboratory

Overnight sleep studies for pediatric patients are offered at Greenwich Hospital.

During a sleep study (polysomnography), monitoring equipment will record important body functions during sleep such as heart rhythm, brain waves and muscle activity, eye movement, oxygen levels and breathing. The data is analyzed by sleep physicians and then sent to the referring doctor along with recommendations for treatment.

Sleep Centers are staffed by registered polysomnographic technologists who are specially trained to make children feel comfortable. They are also experienced in helping kids with developmental difficulties. If a child may benefit from a visit to the Sleep Center prior to the study, our team will help arrange this. Sleeping accommodations are available for one parent for the overnight study. We encourage children to bring a favorite toy or blanket for comfort.

Another approved form of transportation

A healthcare provider will need to fill out a Medical Necessity Form explaining why the member is unable to take public transportation. This form can be found at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms.

You can find out more information about buses and public transportation at the Department of Transportation's website at https://portal.ct.gov/DOT/Publictrans/Bureau-of-Public-Transportation/Local-Bus-Service

Members can go to any provider they choose that is in the network. However, transportation can only be provided to the closest appropriate Medicaid covered service provider within the member's local community. In some cases, the member may be able to get a ride to a provider who is further away. A Medical Necessity Form may be required to be filled out by their medical, dental, or behavioral healthcare provider in order to schedule a ride.

The Medical Necessity Form can be found at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms

Veyo does not cover rides to pick up prescriptions or medical equipment that does not need to be fitted.

You may be sharing a ride with another member who is traveling to and from the same area as you. Shared rides with other Medicaid members are allowed. If there are special health circumstances which prevent you from sharing a ride with other individuals, please tell Veyo when you call to schedule your ride. Your healthcare provider will need to note this on the Medical Necessity Form to communicate to Veyo that you should not be scheduled for a shared ride. This form can be found at https://ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms/.

If your ride is late, you can call Veyo at 855-478-7350, prompt #4 to ask for an update on your driver's estimated time of arrival (ETA).

If there is a snowstorm or bad weather, check with your healthcare provider to make sure their office is open. If you do not feel it is safe to travel, call Veyo's Call Center 855-478-7350 as soon as possible to cancel your ride.

If your town cancels school for the day or has early dismissal due to weather, children will not be transported to after-school treatment programs if the schools in the town they live in are closed or the schools in the town the program is located in are closed.

Every effort is made to continue to operate transportation services during bad weather, however, delays and cancellations may occur due to unsafe travel conditions. Because safety is Veyo's top priority, we ask members and drivers to reschedule trips if they do not feel it is safe to be on the road.

You, your healthcare provider, or caregiver can make a complaint through Veyo's website at ct.ridewithveyo.com/contact or by phone at 877-558-2437. A complaint can be about many different things like an extremely late pick-up, the condition of the vehicle you rode in, the behavior of another passenger, or the courtesy of Veyo's Call Center agents.

Please have the following information ready to help Veyo's compliance team in their investigation:

Your first name

Your last name

Your Medicaid ID #

The date of your trip

A description of the problem

Any additional information that can help us investigate the issue

After submitting a complaint, you will receive a call or written response within one to three business days depending on the type of complaint. You must also ask for a call back if you would like to receive one.

You can request a ride by calling Veyo at 855-478-7350 Monday through Friday between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM EST.

For bus passes, please call at least 5 business days before your scheduled appointment. Additional time is needed for bus passes to be delivered to you.

If you qualify for mileage reimbursement, a car, or a wheelchair vehicle, please call at least 2 business days before your scheduled appointment.

If you're a facility looking to schedule a ride for a member, please 855-478-7350 or visit ct.ridewithveyo.com/facilities to book multiple trips at once.

Transportation for routine appointments can be scheduled up to 30 days in advance.

Repeating trips can be scheduled up to 180 days in advance.

If the trip request is received with less than 2 business days notice, and the appointment is not urgent, you may need to reschedule your appointment.

When scheduling your trip, please keep in mind that the driver may drop you off at the healthcare facility right at your scheduled appointment time. If it is a large facility or you need to arrive before the appointment time, please make sure to factor this in when scheduling the trip.

When you call Veyo to schedule transportation, please be sure to have the following information available:

Medicaid ID #

First and Last Name

Date of Birth

Phone Number where you can be reached

Pick-Up Address, Including Apartment Number

Appointment Date

Appointment Time

Provider / Facility Name

Address of Appointment, Including Office or Suite Number

If Appointment Is Repeating

Mode of Transportation Being Requested

Special Accommodations (e.g. oxygen tank, no multi-loading)

Companion or Attendant Information

If the return time for an appointment is not known at the time of reservation, Veyo will assign the trip as a "will-call" trip. In this case, please call Veyo at 855-478-7350 when you are ready for your ride home. We will dispatch the trip and the transportation provider will arrive within one hour. If over an hour has gone by, you can call Veyo at 855-478-7350 to find out the driver's estimated arrival time (ETA).

If you are not able to make your appointment and need to cancel or reschedule your ride, please call the Veyo Contact Center at 855-478-7350 as soon as you become aware that you no longer need a ride. Please cancel your ride even if it is a bus ride or a mileage reimbursement trip.

If your appointment date or time has changed, please remember to call and update the Veyo Contact Center at 855-478-7350 of the change so we can adjust your transportation reservation.

To cancel a transportation reservation, please call Veyo at 855-478-7350 before your scheduled pickup time. Cancellations should be communicated to Veyo as soon as they are known. If the transportation being canceled is part of a repeating trip series, please be sure to notify the call center whether the cancellation is for a specific date, or if it is for all upcoming trips in the repeating trip series.

Yes, depending on your personal situation, different forms may need to be completed before booking transportation with Veyo. Here are some of the most common examples:

If you are unable to travel by public transportation, a Medical Necessity Form must be completed by your healthcare provider indicating the most medically appropriate mode(s) of transportation for you.

If you live in an urban area and need to travel 10 or more miles to an appointment, or, if you live in a rural area and need to travel 20 miles or more to an appointment, a Medical Necessity Form must be completed by your healthcare provider to verify that-for medical reasons-you need to travel beyond HUSKY Health's approved distance from your home address.

A parent, legal guardian, or caregiver is required to travel with any child under 16 years of age. Parents must fill out, sign, and return the Minor Consent to Travel Form to Veyo before any child between 12-15 years old will be able to ride alone. Any child who behaves inappropriately while riding alone will need to be accompanied by an adult for all future rides.

If you need a medically required attendant, escort, aide, assistant, or companion to ride with you, your healthcare provider will need to fill out and submit a Medical Necessity Form before your trip. Once your healthcare provider has verified that the person (for example: your sibling or your parent for family counseling) is needed at your appointment, the person may ride with you.

Your newborn or nursing infant (up to 6 months old) may ride with you, as long as you provide an appropriate car seat for the child.

If a person does not meet the criteria above, they will not be able to ride with you to or from your appointment.

Each form can be downloaded at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms or requested over the phone by calling the Veyo Contact Center at 855-478-7350.

You can find out your form(s) approval status by calling 855-478-7350. All forms must be signed by a licensed treatment professional (example: MD, LCSW, LMFT, APRN, RN). Signatures from Certified Nursing Assistants, Patient Techs, Receptionists, Medical Assistants, etc. are not acceptable. Please make sure you call the Veyo Contact Center if any information (such as your address, phone number, etc.) changes.

You can request an urgent needs trip or after hour discharge ride by calling Veyo at 855-478-7350. This after hours service is available 24 hours, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays. Please note: it may take up to 3 hours to arrange a ride for hospital discharge or urgent needs.

"Urgent need" means you have an injury or illness that needs treatment in the next 48 hours or your health will get worse. If you have an emergency, please call 911.

If you are unable to travel by public transportation, a Medical Necessity Form must be completed by your healthcare provider indicating the most medically appropriate mode(s) of transportation for you.

This form can be found at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms.

A Medical Necessity Form must be completed by your healthcare provider to verify that, for medical reasons, you need to travel to an appointment outside of your local community.

This form can be found at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms.

A parent, legal guardian, or caregiver is required to travel with any child under 16 years of age. Parents must fill out, sign, and return the Minor Consent to Travel Form to Veyo before any child between 12-15 years old will be able to ride alone. Any child who behaves inappropriately while riding alone will need to be accompanied by an adult for all future rides.

This form can be found at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms.

Before someone can travel with you to your appointment, you must have your healthcare provider complete a Medical Necessity Form to communicate to Veyo that you need to travel with a companion or attendant due to a physical, mental, or intellectual medical condition that prevents you from traveling alone.

This form can be found at ct.ridewithveyo.com/forms.

Friends or family of HUSKY Health members who drive the member to a Medicaid-covered behavioral health, medical, or dental appointments may be eligible for mileage reimbursement.

To be reimbursed for a trip, transportation for the member needs to be scheduled at least 2 business days before the member's appointment to ensure eligibility. The HUSKY Health transportation booking phone number is 855-478-7350.

The driver must be registered with HUSKY Health / Veyo. To register as a driver, please submit the Driver Registration Form before requesting reimbursement here. If you do not have access to the internet, please call 855-478-7350 and a Veyo agent will mail the form to you.

Each date of service must have a physician or clinician signature in order for reimbursement to be approved. Each trip will be confirmed with the physician's office before payments will be made.

Each Mileage Reimbursement Form can be used for up to five (5) medical appointments of mileage reimbursement from the member's home address to a single medical facility location. This form can be found here.

The Mileage Reimbursement Form needs to be filled out and returned to Veyo within 30 days of the first medical appointment listed. Completed forms can be emailed to ctmileage@veyo.com, faxed to 860-218-2948 or mailed to Veyo, Attn: Mileage Reimbursement, PO Box 1070, Windsor, CT 06095.

The mileage reimbursement rate for Connecticut members is $0.54 cents per loaded mile.

Approved trips will be paid out within 4-6 weeks for electronic and physical payments via check. Physical checks are mailed out on the last day of each month.

You can find out your form(s) approval status by calling 855-478-7350. All forms must be signed by a licensed treatment professional (example: MD, LCSW, LMFT, APRN, RN). Signatures from Certified Nursing Assistants, Patient Techs, Receptionists, Medical Assistants, etc. are not acceptable. Please make sure you call the Veyo Call Center if any information (such as your address, phone number, etc.) changes.

Please note: We are only accepting reimbursement requests for the first three (3) weeks of January.

If you are a member that has paid out of pocket after missing transportation, please follow the steps below.

To submit a request, please email ctqa@veyo.com with the following information:

All reimbursement requests will be reviewed and investigated on a case-by-case basis, and findings will be communicated in 30-60 days. No payment is guaranteed. Decisions are final and will not be open to appeal.

I n-state, non-emergency medical ambulance transportation is not arranged by Veyo. If you need in-state (within Connecticut) non-emergency medical ambulance transportation, please call your healthcare provider. The healthcare provider or facility can work directly with the ambulance company. You can also contact your local ambulance provider to schedule transportation directly.

For out-of-state (any place outside of Connecticut), non-emergency ambulance transportation, please contact Veyo at 1-855-478-7350.

Temporary Formula Substitutions NO LONGER WIC ALLOWED Effective 2/28/23

Standard infant formula availability is returning to normal levels and formula can now be found in most CT WIC approved stores. During the formula shortage we were able to provide brands/substitutes other than Similac to families unable to find their needed formula however these temporary flexibilities are ending.
Effective 2/28/23 all WIC participants using standard formula will only be able to purchase Similac products.
If you have questions regarding this change or difficulty finding standard formula in your area, please contact your local WIC office.

ALERT: Please note this important change to the purchase of certain WIC Approved juice containers.
On January 1, 2023, the 2 phase of Connecticut's Bottle Bill is going into effect. Half gallon (64 oz.) plastic containers of juice will now be included in the items subject to a 5 cent bottle deposit. The WIC Program cannot pay the 5 cent deposit. For transactions made with a WIC card, the 5 cent deposit must be paid for separately from the food items.

When purchasing 64 oz. plastic bottles of WIC approved juice, customers using WIC cards will first swipe their WIC card to pay for the WIC approved food items, then will need to pay the bottle deposit with any other form of payment.

Children often face stressful situations such as adjusting to school, social, and family pressures that may result in psychological conditions that cannot be managed in the outpatient setting. NewYork-Presbyterian has inpatient psychiatric units for children and teens to help them cope with difficulties in a secure environment.

Nichols Cottage & the Adolescent Unit

Nichols Cottage, part of NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine, is an 17-bed inpatient child psychiatric unit designed to help children, aged 5 to 12 years, and their families manage crises. Similarly, the Adolescent Unit is a 21-bed inpatient psychiatric unit that serves adolescents aged 13-17 and their families. Both units are located at NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health Center.

Treatment begins with an integrative biopsychosocial formulation focusing on the factors that led to the inpatient admission. The hospitalization involves stabilizing acute symptoms, ensuring the safety of self and others, rapid and in-depth review of diagnosis and the psychosocial circumstances, implementation of effective psychopharmacologic and psychological treatments along with an individualized discharge plan. The milieu was designed to be a space of comfort fostering a child friendly atmosphere. The treatment team collaborates extensively with the patient's family to gather information, enhance communication and strengthen or establish a support system. Family work continues throughout the hospitalization providing support psychoeducation, skill development and safety planning. The teams work collaboratively to assist in the coordination of referrals, appointments and securing outpatient services as the patients progress towards discharge.

Whether on Nichols Cottage or the Adolescent Unit, our multidisciplinary staff - consisting of child psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, activity therapists, and teachers - treat a variety of psychiatric conditions. These conditions include disruptive disorders (attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity disorder, oppositional-defiant, and conduct disorders), anxiety and depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, developmental disorders, and psychosis. Also, maladaptive behaviors such as suicidal behavior, school refusal, running away, and psychotic behaviors often require a safe and closely monitored therapeutic environment afforded by these units. Our clinicians utilize different treatment modalities to address psychosocial issues affecting children, including individual, behavioral, cognitive and dialectical therapy, family and group therapy, as well as pharmacotherapy.

The multiplicity of psychiatric diagnoses belongs to the range of the disruptive (attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity disorder, oppositional-defiant and conduct disorders), anxiety and depressive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, developmental disorders, and psychosis. Different groups of maladaptive behaviors requiring a safe and closely monitored therapeutic environment include suicidal behavior, school refusal, running away, and bizarre psychotic behaviors.

There is a strong collaboration with families, providing and encouraging opportunities for participation in their child's treatment. Educational classes to continue students' academic success are provided, and contact with each child's school is maintained to coordinate a successful transition after discharge.

Children receive a thorough diagnostic assessment, including neuropsychological evaluation if needed. Parents play an essential role in the evaluation.

After the assessment, which is discussed with family, a treatment plan is developed utilizing the current resources and

Daily assessment by a child psychiatrist who works closely with the multidisciplinary treatment team.

An eclectic treatment approach utilizing the concepts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is offered based on individualized treatment plans and the development of coping skills.

Discharge to home and family is carefully planned so that the child has appropriate outpatient services to secure a successful transition.

Inpatient Education

Education, Inc. provides fully accredited school programs, including an elementary school program for inpatient students, on hospital grounds. Tutoring is arranged for children or adolescents who are unable to attend the Education, Inc. program.

"I hope to use my coping skills when I leave so I can go far in life. This was a great learning experience for me."

Four Winds Saratoga is one of the leading providers of child and adolescent mental health services in the Northeast. There are two adolescent inpatient units on our campus. The Polaris unit typically serves younger adolescents and the Freshwater unit serves older adolescents. Each home-like cottage is staffed with a professional, multi-disciplinary treatment team, under the supervision of a child and adolescent psychiatrist.

This comprehensive program addresses adolescent psychiatric problems, including: depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, suicidal ideation, social isolation, and physical and sexual abuse.

While a broad range of emotional and behavioral difficulties are treated, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan based upon his or her needs. Treatment integrates individual, group and family therapies with a full complement of educational, expressive and recreational therapies.

Adolescents participate in insight-oriented individual therapy, behavioral therapy, and group therapies, as well as a range of expressive therapies. Patients attend skill-building groups where an emphasis is placed on learning positive social skills, conflict resolution and mutual respect.

Working with each child's family or support system is a major focus of treatment. Families are actively involved in treatment planning, family therapy and discharge planning.

Do you have the sense that things could be better?

Are you not quite sure how to get there from here?

We all have moments of feeling stuck in our lives, meaning that we are not progressing forward in an area of our life in which we would like

to see positive change. We can feel stuck in our process of personal growth, in our relationships, in our parenting or in our professional lives. We can also feel stuck or bogged down in emotional states such as nagging anxiety, depressed mood or a sense of doom about the future. Seeking therapy is a positive step towards regaining forward momentum in your life. Together we can work to get you "unstuck" and feeling better about the direction of your life and your relationships.

​Stressful life events and life transitions (becoming a parent, parenting a teen, divorce, death of a loved one, empty nest, geographic relocation or losing a job etc.) can also leave us feeling stuck and in need of non-judgmental support. We are here to listen to your concerns in a safe and supportive environment and to work together with you to regain the inner strength and the tools that you need to move forward and achieve your personal or family goals.

The office is located at 30 Myano Lane, (Suite 20, 2 floor) in Stamford, CT.

Kate Vivanco, EdM, LCSW ​

(Licensed Clinical Social Worker) has a Masters in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard University and a Masters in Clinical Social Work from Catholic University. Her undergraduate degree is from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.

Kate began her social work career in a bilingual clinic in Washington, DC and then at Family Centers in Stamford, CT. Kate has been in private practice for twelve years. She works with older adolescents and adults. Particular areas of strength for Kate include human development and identity formation, parent guidance, depression, anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD and trauma related to transnational migration. Her approach is eclectic, drawing on psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness and other techniques, always with a human development perspective in mind. Kate is trained in EMDR for trauma therapy and the Recent Traumatic Event Protocol EMDR intervention to help prevent PTSD. Kate is also a fluent Spanish speaker.

The therapy session is your space, and you deserve to feel supported and challenged by a therapist with whom you feel comfortable. Kate strives to create such an environment in each therapy session.

Payment is expected at the end of each session. Cash, personal check, money order. Please feel free to discuss with your therapist any concerns regarding finances in the course of treatment. If the client is an adolescent, then all financial concerns are to be discussed between the parent and the therapist.

We respect your privacy and adhere strictly to the NASW Code of Ethics and all HIPAA guidelines.

If you need to cancel an appointment please do so in advance. We reserve your 50 minute session specifically for you. Therefore, it is essential that you try to let us know as soon as possible when you will not be able to come to your reserved session. A full fee (or your sliding scale fee) will be charged for no-show or late cancellations.

Some clients wonder how long they will be in therapy. The duration of treatment is something to be determined by the therapist and client depending on your goals and the progress of the work. Usually we will need a few initial sessions to assess your goals before talking about a timeline. But it is important to remember that your session is your time and you are the expert in your own needs and successes. While you may terminate therapy at any time, it is best to discuss it with us a few weeks in advance, as termination is an important phase of therapy and can be a very valuable process.

More than 44 million people in the United States suffer from mental health disorders, according to the American Psychological Association.  In the past century, the medical profession has begun to take seriously mental and emotional wellbeing.  There are various types of interventions for mental and emotional health problems including psychotherapy, psychiatry and a combination of the two, among others.

Connecticut Mental Health Statistics

Data shows that teens in Connecticut need more support than they are receiving in or outside of school. According to MHA's 2021 rankings, 14 percent of Connecticut youth (39,000 teens) had at least one major depressive episode. In Fairfield County, the rate of deaths of despair in 2020 (including both suicides and drug-related deaths) was 27 out of 100,000, according to a US News report-more than three times the national rate of 6.8 out of 100,000.

Furthermore, a student survey in the town of Darien, conducted every three years by the city's Thriving Youth Task Force, found that 48 percent of high school students say they do not have the coping skills to respond to disappointment, frustration, or other experiences of discomfort. And 35 percent of Darien high schoolers and 26 percent of middle schoolers reported that they did not feel in control of their lives or their future.

Despite this growing need, however, 60 percent of teens in Connecticut with major depression received no treatment at all. Families in Fairfield County and throughout the state searching online for "family therapy Darien, CT," "mental health facilities in CT," or "teenage counseling near me" often find limited options and availability.

A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) falls on the continuum of mental healthcare between residential treatment and intensive outpatient or outpatient treatment. Partial Hospital Programs typically include individual, family, and group counseling and medication management.

The main difference between PHP and residential treatment is individuals do not live in the treatment centers, but rather attend program during the day and return home after as they no longer require 24hr supervision. This allows clients to receive much of the same structure as residential care during the day as well as the opportunity to begin practicing their skills as they transition to life outside the treatment program.

Partial Hospitalization Treatment at Discovery for Mood and Anxiety Program

All of our day programs-partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient-take place in separate facilities from our residential facilities. We offer partial hospitalization treatment in many locations throughout the country.

What can I Expect in Partial Hospitalization Treatment?

A typical treatment team includes a therapist and psychiatrist. Our Partial Hospital Programs operates five days a week, six hours per day. Frequency of visits depends on the individual's needs. Once the treatment team has determined an individual is ready to transition to the next level of care the recommendation is typically to step down to Intensive Outpatient treatment.

What Level of Care is Right for You?

Call us today at 714-828-0808 so we can learn about you and help you start your recovery journey. Our admissions team will work with you to identify the appropriate level of care and location that's right for you. We are here for you every step along the way.

How It Works

The Connecticut Energy Assistance Program (CEAP) helps Connecticut residents afford to heat their homes. Applications for CEAP typically take 30-45 minutes. Basic benefits towards your heating bill range between $100 to $600 depending on your income level, household size and whether there is a vulnerable member in the household. These benefits are usually paid directly to your utility company or fuel supplier. Households that heat with deliverable fuels like oil or propane may be eligible for additional fuel deliveries.

CEAP recipients may also be eligible for matching payment plans, protection from shut-offs, and replacement and/or repairs for h eating equipment and water heater(s).

The program is administered by Connecticut's Department of Social Services in partnership with local Community Action Agencies (CAAs) throughout the state.

A virtual public hearing with the Appropriations, Human Services and Energy and Technology Committees was held on Monday, August 29, 2022 where the FFY 2023 Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) and Amendment to the Low Income Household Water Assistance Program block grant allocation plans were approved.

The financial assistance programs provide income support to individuals and families to meet their basic needs while encouraging their maximum degree of independence. The programs are:

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program was signed into law on August 22, 1996. This federal legislation provides block grants to states to fund programs that provide services and benefits to needy families. TANF was designed to give states flexibility to operate programs that serve one of the following purposes:

Provides assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives

Ends the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work and marriage

Prevents and reduces the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies and establishes annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies

Encourages the formation and maintenance of two parent families

In Connecticut, TANF funds the Temporary Family Assistance program, Safety Net, Employment Services and many other programs and services for needy families. For a description of all of the programs and services funded by TANF, please go to our TANF State Plan .

Jobs First Temporary Family Assistance (TFA) provides cash assistance to families. For families with an employable adult, there is a 21-month lifetime limit for the receipt of TFA. Families in which there is no employable adult have no limit to the duration of the benefits. Eligibility is based on income being lower than a set standard and assets being below limits. Earned income of recipients of TFA that are working are not counted until they are equal to the federal poverty level. They are thus allowed to keep all earnings up to the federal poverty level as well as the cash assistance benefit. Families are allowed to have up to $3,000 in a bank account, and life insurance policies and pension plans are excluded. The equity value of an automobile in excess of $9,500 counts towards the asset limit. The amount of assistance varies depending on which of three regions of the state they live in. The assistance for a family of three in the most populous region is $500 per month if in subsidized housing, $543 if not. Adults in the family are subject to digital imaging of their fingerprints to prevent receipt of duplicate assistance.

Families subject to the time limit may qualify for six-month extensions to the limit if they have good cause for being unemployed or underemployed (earning less than the TFA benefit) at the end of the 21-month period, or any extension.

Minor parents are required to live with a parent, stepparent, or legal guardian. If there is good reason why the minor parent cannot live with one of these, then the minor must reside with an adult relative or in an adult-supervised living arrangement.

Jobs First Employment Services (ES) are designed to rapidly move recipients of TFA into employment and toward self-sufficiency. Priority is given to families subject to the 21-month time limit and all such families are required to participate in employment services. Jobs First uses a workforce attachment model, with employment being the immediate goal of the participant and job search is generally required before any other services are made available. Child care and transportation assistance is available for families participating in activities that will lead to employment.

Child care assistance is available to TFA recipients who need child care to accept or retain employment. Such assistance continues until the family's income reaches 75% of the state's median income level.

Families receiving TFA are eligible for medical assistance under Medicaid. Such assistance continues for at least two years following ineligibility for TFA if a member of the family was working at the time, or if a family member went to work within six months of ineligibility for TFA.

How to Access Cash and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Benefits (after enrollment).
State Supplement Cash Assistance
The State Supplement Cash Assistance program provides cash assistance to the Aged, Blind, or Disabled to supplement their income and maintain them at a standard of living established by the State Legislature. In order to receive benefits, individuals must have another source of income such as Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, or Veterans' benefits. To qualify as aged, and individual must be 65 years of age or older; to qualify as disabled, an individual must be between the ages of 18 and 65 and meet the disability criteria of the federal Social Security Disability Insurance program; and to qualify as blind, an individual must meet the criteria of the Social Security Disability program, or the State Board of Education and Services for the Blind.

The program is funded entirely by state funds, but operates under both state and federal law and regulation. Incentives are available to encourage recipients to become as self-supporting as their ages or abilities will allow. State Supplement program payments also promote a higher degree of self-sufficiency by enabling recipients to remain in non-institutional living arrangements. People eligible for State Supplement are automatically eligible for Medicaid.

Liquid assets cannot exceed $1,600 for a single person or $2,400 for a couple. If a recipient owns a home, a lien is placed upon it.
For information on applying, please follow this link. **New State Supplement Application Process For Rated Housing Providers at DSS**
To better serve our applicants and providers, effective August 1, 2015, DSS has realigned our three Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) Application Centers.

Application packets with as much of the required documentation that is available at the time of submission should be mailed directly to the appropriate LTSS Application Processing Center, beginning August 1.
State Administered General Assistance (SAGA) Cash Assistance
Through the SAGA Cash Assistance program, the Department provides cash assistance to individuals who are unable to work for medical or other prescribed reasons.

Employable individuals are not eligible for SAGA cash assistance. However, employable individuals who have substance abuse problems may be eligible to receive treatment and some financial support through the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services' (DMHAS) Basic Needs Program. You can get information about the Basic Needs Program by calling toll-free 1-800-658-4472.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - SNAP

Eligibility

​

Income Limits
To receive SNAP benefits in Connecticut, household income and other resources have to be under certain limits and are reviewed. For some households, there is also an asset limit.

The income standards for SNAP are based the federal poverty levels (FPL). All income standards listed in the following table below are monthly figures. There are gross and net income limits. The gross income limit is equal to 185% of the current Federal Poverty Level and is the amount of income the household has before taxes and deductions. The gross income limit applies to most households. The gross income limit does not apply to households in which at least one person is 60 years of age or older, or receives disability income. However, all households subject to a monthly net income limit. The net income limit is equal to the current Federal Poverty Level and is the amount left over after certain deductions are allowed. These deductions are established by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. Details can be found on their website at http://www.fns.usda.gov/SNAP/

Effective October 1, 2020, the gross monthly income limits and net monthly income limits are as listed below.
Asset Limits
There is no asset limit EXCEPT for households whose gross income is more than 185% of the Federal Poverty Level. For those households, total assets including cash, savings accounts, stocks and bonds cannot be more than $3500. We do not include the home the client lives in as an asset, nor do we put a lien on the home. We also do not count vehicles or retirement accounts, such as IRAs. Again, these asset limits only apply to households whose gross income is more than 185% of the Federal Poverty Level.

A "household" is all the people who live together and buy and prepare food together. Once a household meets the eligibility requirements, we calculate the amount of the household's SNAP benefit based on the household's income and certain allowable deductions for shelter, dependent care expenses, medical costs and child support payments to others outside the household. Shelter costs are rent and mortgage payments, heating or cooling not included in rent, and utility and monthly telephone services charges.
SNAP Benefit Amounts
The recently passed Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 increased the maximum and minimum SNAP allotments households are eligible to receive. This increase is in effect from January 1, 2021 - June 30, 2021. The maximum SNAP benefit amounts are listed in the table below.

For more information about income limits and benefit amounts for households of 8 or more, or for any other information about SNAP, please call 1-855-626-6632.

To find out if you may be eligible for SNAP based on income, follow this link: DSS ConneCT Pre-Screener

Once you receive SNAP benefits in Connecticut, there are certain things you must report. Watch the short video below to find out more!

F amily First in Education aims to improve the educational and family outcomes for participating Greenwich elementary school students enrolled at Hamilton Avenue, New Lebanon and Julian Curtiss elementary schools where the low-income population is rapidly growing, leaving more students eligible for the Free or Reduced Federal Lunch Program. Due to socio-economic challenges faced by low-income families, most of these students are also non-proficient in state standardized reading and math testing.

Family First in Education utilizes a two-generational approach focused on parent engagement and structured after school programming. By paying close attention to both parent and student needs, the program positively impacts overall family wellness, school and community engagement, academic growth in reading and math and social/emotional development, thereby impacting key causes of the achievement gap.

Thanks to a strong partnership with Greenwich Public Schools (GPS), Family First's after-school curriculum complements the academic work that occurs in the classroom during the school day. As a result, a complete learning environment is created for students. To date, Family First students have demonstrated significantly higher growth on the reading and math STAR assessments relative to GPS students attending two of our feeder schools, New Lebanon and Hamilton Avenue elementary schools. According to our most recent data, about 43%-47% of Family First students are making strong growth (65% or higher SGP on STAR math and reading) when compared with 11%-17% of New Lebanon and Hamilton Avenue students.

As noted earlier, Family First in Education employs a two-generational approach to foster positive family and educational outcomes.Our wrap-around services assist parents to meet family needs and remove barriers that limit parent engagement.

Our robust and meaningful supports include:

- Master's level clinicians who address clinical and behavioral issues for students and parents, with student sessions held on site at the after-school program

-Assessment of basic needs and case management services, including connection to local resources for food, clothing, legal services, job search supports, childcare, physical and dental health, etc.

- Connection to and communication with public school staff, including accompanying parents to school meetings

- Clinician facilitated parent workshops that address questions and concerns, while building community

- Weekend family enrichment events which provide exposure to new and educational experiences

- Clinician-facilitated socio-emotional workshops for students, addressing themes of self-awareness, self-management, relationship skills, responsible decision making, etc.

- Case conferences with Family First clinicians and afterschool staff to review and plan for student concerns and issues

For more information on Family First in Education, contact Carolina Ahumada at 203-629-2822.

​Welcome to the Anxiety Treatment Center of Greenwich. The center was founded by Jill Vaughan Tesei and Maryellen Pachler Kennell and specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents.

Anxiety is the number one mental health problem in America, and affects 1 in 8, or 13%, of our youth. Anxiety disorders are characterized by persistent, irrational and overwhelming worry and fear. Symptoms can vary from patient to patient, but often include irritability, sleeplessness, jitteriness, as well as physical symptoms such as headaches and stomachaches. Ultimately they can cause significant distress and affect how the brain operates, impairing social, academic, and family functioning. This can prevent children from making friends, maintaining relationships or participating in school, social and extracurricular activities.

While feeling ashamed, afraid, alone and angry are common reactions to anxiety, research shows that, if left untreated, children with anxiety disorders are likely to also develop additional anxiety disorders, predilection to substance abuse, depression, and other mental illnesses. Anxiety disorders can co-occur with other psychiatric disorders such as depression, eating disorders, and ADHD.

Thankfully there are several options and approaches to treating and alleviating the symptoms associated with anxiety, especially if diagnosed early. If you've recognized these symptoms or characteristics in your children, please call The Anxiety Treatment Center of Greenwich at 203.769.1365 to learn more.
