Behavioral Healthcare Heroes in Action
ACTING FAST
When the world changed in mid-March, CHR:
- Continued essential services without interruption, including mobile crisis teams; all residential programs for children, teens and adults; methadone treatment programs throughout the region and more.
- Swiftly transitioned to telehealth clinical services.
- Opened urgent care hours for individuals who needed to be seen in person.
- Methadone treatment programs in CHR offices and CT prisons.
PROVIDING HELP FOR EVERYONE
Recognizing that people throughout the region were dealing with extreme stress, CHR:
- Launched the free HERO HOTLINE, 888.217.HERO, to provide immediate coaching from clinicians specially trained in Acute Stress Response.
- Continued without interruption 24/7 care in all residential programs for children and adults (110 beds).

EXPANDING SERVICES, CAREFULLY
Over the summer, CHR transitioned to our “New Normal Action Plan” and:
