Connecticut Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services
Empowering Teens and Young Adults
in Their Search for Mental Wellness
When the Southwest Regional Mental Health Board received a grant from the state’s Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services to develop a website for young adults dealing with mental health issues, the board turned to Taylor Design. The challenge was to create a youth-oriented, information-rich site that would guide young adults in finding the help they need to feel good about themselves—and their future. The new website, Turning Point CT, makes it easy for young people dealing with mental wellness to learn about the options available to them through Connecticut’s behavioral health system. It has proved to be both engaging and useful. In its first five months, Turning Point CT recorded 22,000 page views and averaged 900 unique visitors each month.
