Connecticut referrals
Hospitality work can carry real pressure. This independently curated directory brings together Connecticut emergency and crisis routes, routine navigation, treatment access, peer support, benefits, and employer resources.
Serving Up Support is based in Maine. These independently curated referrals are information only, not care delivered by us. Listing a provider does not imply partnership or endorsement, and we do not operate services in Connecticut.

For non-emergency questions, these routes can help people look for services or understand substance-use treatment options.
Routine information and referral
Not sure which local service to call? Connecticut 211 can help you find community resources by phone or online, day or night. Call 2-1-1, browse the statewide directory, or use the website chat. The provider describes 211 as free information and referral; it cannot guarantee eligibility, placement, an appointment, or funding.
Use 911 for immediate danger and 988 for mental-health or substance-use crisis support.
Substance-use treatment navigation
For help finding substance-use treatment in Connecticut—including assessment, outpatient options, medication information, withdrawal management, and residential programs—call the DMHAS Access Line, open 24/7. Ask the team what options may fit and whether transportation guidance applies to a particular treatment path.
The state describes this as treatment access and navigation, not a general crisis line or peer warmline. The listing does not establish treatment price or guarantee an available place; confirm details with the Access Line and provider.

These peer programs are separate from emergency dispatch, crisis response, and clinical treatment. Confirm fit and current availability with each provider.
Non-crisis peer support
For emerging adults who want someone to talk with—not crisis response—the Statewide Young Adult Warmline offers free, phone-based peer support every day from noon to 9 p.m. The provider does not publish a numeric age range; contact Join Rise Be to confirm whether the line is a fit. It is not a clinical service or emergency line.
Opt-in recovery peer check-ins
If you’re seeking recovery support or already in recovery, CCAR’s Telephone Recovery Support can arrange a weekly peer check-in. Sign up online for English or Spanish calls; this is not a number to call for an immediate response, and it is not a crisis line or treatment provider.
The current program page does not state shared operating hours, numeric age eligibility, or a fee. Confirm those details directly with CCAR.
Voluntary peer respite in New Britain
The Gloria House is a free, voluntary peer respite for eligible Connecticut adults who need space and connection during emotional distress. The provider describes a four-bedroom home with stays of up to seven nights and peer support—not clinical care, psychiatric services, or emergency shelter.
The provider lists adults 18 and older with a Connecticut address, along with other fit and safety requirements; guests need to manage their own medical needs and medication, prepare food, and evacuate independently. Capacity may be limited, the provider does not promise an open bed, and it asks callers to try again if staff are busy. Call to discuss fit and current availability. For immediate danger call 911; for crisis support call or text 988.
Connecticut directory
The first resource concerns potential wage-replacement benefits for workers; the second is an employer-facing workplace program.
Worker benefit information
If a health or caregiving need takes you away from work, Connecticut Paid Leave may replace part of your wages if you meet its rules. The Authority’s current eligibility guide and application portal explain how to check and apply; eligibility and benefit amounts are determined by the Authority and its claims administrator.
Paid Leave wage-replacement benefits and job-protection rights are separate questions. Review the Connecticut Department of Labor’s guidance on CTFMLA separately. This directory is informational, not legal advice, and does not determine eligibility.
Employer-facing workplace information
For hospitality employers who want to make recovery support more visible at work, Connecticut’s Recovery Friendly Workplace materials offer a place to explore practical workplace steps, tools, and training information.
This is an employer resource, not an employee crisis line, clinical service, or individual benefit. The reviewed pages do not establish current participation eligibility, cost, or office hours; ask the program directly before relying on any terms. Serving Up Support is not a partner or certifier.
