The Arts Council is a regional non-profit membership arts
organization dedicated to enhancing, developing and promoting
opportunities for artists, arts organizations and audiences
throughout the Greater New Haven area. The Arts Council strives
to build a vibrant artistic and cultural community that is
representative of all disciplines, fiscally strong, supportive
of all artists and organizations, rich in ethnic and socioeconomic
diversity and accessible to all audiences.
A unique new initiative of the Community Services Network
of Greater New Haven (CSN) and the Yale Program for Recovery
and Community Health (PRCH), The Parachute Factory seeks to
foster community health through the arts by sponsoring interdisciplinary,
artistic programs and collaborations that expand opportunity
for people within the greater New Haven community. PRCH conducts
research, training, education and policy development in the
field of behavioral health. Its guiding philosophy is recovery,
defined as the regaining of a person’s place in the
community as a way of living with and living beyond the experiences
of mental illness and addiction. The CSN, administered by
the Yale Department of Psychiatry through the Connecticut
Mental Health Center, is a consortium of 18 community-based
organizations that provide a variety of behavioral health
services to people throughout the greater New Haven area.
The mission of the CSN is to help families and individuals
enjoy meaningful and satisfying lives through the coordination
of recovery-oriented clinical, housing, social rehabilitation,
vocational, and other services.
