Today we hosted the bi-monthly North Central Regional Su***de Advisory Board (NCRSAB).
We extend our appreciation to Dr. Kaminer, MD, UConn School of Medicine, for an exceptional presentation on “Youth Substance Use, Co-Occurring Depression, and Suicidal Behavior.”
This important discussion underscores the critical role of prevention as an equal part of the behavioral healthcare continuum!

We strengthen the ability of the North Central Region to assess needs, develop plans, and advocate for strategies and resources to advance healthy communities.
We are the Regional Behavioral Health Action Organization for the 37 towns that make up the North Central region of Connecticut.
We support Local Prevention Councils (LPCs) in prevention efforts, regional Consumer Advisory Councils (CACs), and Way To Go CT. The CACs promote leadership skills for adults in recovery and focus on topics that benefit adults with psychiatric and/or addictive disorders.
Way To Go CT is a mobility management program for disabled and elderly people.
History:
Amplify was formerly known as the East of the River Action for Substance Abuse Elimination (ERASE) and the North Central Regional Mental Health Board (NCRMHB). ERASE was the regional action council that focused on substance abuse prevention services and coordinated efforts to improve services and leverage funds to meet the prevention and wellness needs of youth and their families.
The North Central Regional Mental Health Board (NCRMHB) was one of five regional mental health boards established by the Connecticut General Assembly in 1974 to study local needs, evaluate state funded mental health programs and make recommendations to the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS), local providers, and government officials for improved and/or expanded services.
Amplify, Inc. continues to involve local people living with mental health or substance use disorders, family members, and others who know and care about them in its review, evaluation, planning and advocacy activities.
