The Connecticut Women'S Consortium

The Connecticut Women’s Consortium (CWC) is a nonprofit organization that provides education, training, advocacy, and policy development on gender-responsive and trauma-informed care. Our mission is to ensure that the behavioral health system responds to the needs of women and the people and organizations that affect them. Our audience includes men and women, state agencies, nonprofits, clinicians, social workers, teachers, students, and others interested in mental health, addiction and behavioral health care. The CWC includes both local and national experts in our training catalogs. We also lead on initiatives and programs that support trauma-informed, gender-responsive practices, such as our Trauma and Gender Practice Improvement Collaborative (TAG Initiative) with Connecticut’s Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.
