THE VOICE OF PSYCHIATRY IN CONNECTICUT

Our Mission 

The Connecticut Psychiatric Society is a District Branch of the American Psychiatric Association composed of 600 members. The society is devoted to advocating for patients and those who care for them, promoting and disseminating professional values, supporting education and career advancement, and strengthening the scientific basis of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment.

Vision

The Connecticut Psychiatric Society works to ensure access to humane care and effective treatment for people with mental illnesses. CPS is the voice and conscience of psychiatry in Connecticut. We advocate for an environment where quality psychiatric care is available for all who need it.

For Patients & Families

Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (an M.D. or D.O.) who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders.

Dear Members,

I am Dr. Paul Bryant, President of the Connecticut Psychiatric Society, and it gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to our newly redesigned website. This website is designed with you, our members, in mind, providing a one-stop resource center for all your professional needs and fostering stronger connections within our community.

Our revamped website offers a wealth of resources, from the latest psychiatric research and clinical best practices to upcoming events and continuing education opportunities. We have also introduced a members-only section for networking, sharing ideas, and having meaningful discussions on pressing issues in our field. This website serves not just as a resource hub but also as a virtual meeting place where we can all connect and collaborate.

As we continue to enhance and expand our online presence, we invite you to explore, engage, and provide us with your valuable feedback. Together, we can make this website a dynamic and vital part of our Society's mission to promote excellence in psychiatric care. Here's to new beginnings and stronger connections.

Welcome!

Warm Regards,

Paul Bryant, M.D., President, Connecticut Psychiatric Society
