How to Make a Referral

STEP services are available to qualified individuals regardless of insurance status. We will assess all individuals between the ages of 16 and 35 who are in the first few years of psychotic illness and live in the Connecticut towns of New Haven, East Haven, North Haven, Bethany, Woodbridge, Hamden, and Branford.

If you live outside these towns but are a resident of Connecticut, help is now available via a collaborative network of clinics. See information on the STEP Learning Collaborative. Access to this network is through a single referral line: (203) 200-0140 or online referral form.
