Reliance Health, Inc. (formerly Reliance House) has served Eastern Connecticut for over 40 years. What began as a single staffed, daytime drop-in center for mental health consumers residing in Norwich Hospital in the mid-1970’s, has developed into one of the most responsive and well respected providers of mental health and addiction services in the region. The mission of Reliance Health is to enhance health through mental wellness. This tethered with the values of respect, recovery, self-determination, growth, choice, and unity in diversity have guided the vision and allowed the organization to become a leader in the field. Reliance Health embraces concepts such as supportive housing, the Housing First model, harm reduction, and motivational interviewing to best serve the needs of its members in a person-centered, value-driven, and recovery-oriented way. Reliance Health has become a progressive agency at the forefront of person-centered services. Today, the organization serves over 1000 individuals annually and employs approximately 250 staff. An array of services are provided including, but not limited to: intake assessments, service coordination, peer support, supervised housing, supportive housing, employment services, supported education, adult education, supported living, social rehabilitation, shelter and homeless outreach, community outreach, respite, transitional living, young adult services, transportation, and individualized support programming. Services are primarily funded through the Connecticut Departments of Mental Health and Addiction Services and Developmental Services and aim to serve individuals aged 18 and older who lack the financial means and insurance coverage to access private supports.
