Southeastern Regional Action Council

SERAC engages with the communities of Eastern CT to implement proven practices that reduce the impact of behavioral health challenges across the lifespan. This is achieved through collaboration, needs assessment, capacity building, and advocacy.

SERAC is a small prevention organization that works with individuals across the life span in the 41 communities of Eastern CT. SERAC does not provide direct service but rather education, training, advocacy, and capacity building, on the topics of substance use, problem gambling, mental health promotion, and suicide prevention. We envision a future for our region where:

There is less substance use and problem gambling and a greater degree of mental well-being among residents.

There is greater recognition of the importance, value, and impact of prevention.

Individuals with addiction and/or mental health needs are engaged, supported, and empowered to work on their own behalf and feel included by their communities.

Communities are empowered and responsive to their own mental health, substance use, and problem gambling needs.

Communities are aligned and acting in collaboration across sectors, with data, and through responsive and evidence-based programs, activities, and services around prevention and promoting optimal mental well-being.
