Building Resilient Families

At Build A Better You, our mission is clear: to empower individuals to overcome challenges, unlock their potential, and lead fulfilling lives. We're dedicated to building resilient communities one person at a time.

At Build A Better You Family Services, LLC, our mission is to empower individuals and families in the Hartford area to lead fulfilling lives through comprehensive clinical services, innovative therapeutic activities, and dedicated outreach support. Founded with a commitment to enhancing mental health and well-being, we strive to address the diverse needs of our community with compassion and expertise.

Clinical Services

Our clinical services are tailored to address the evolving mental health challenges faced by our clients, particularly those exacerbated by the current pandemic. Led by licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), our team provides individual and group counseling, offering a safe space for clients to explore and adopt positive coping mechanisms. We aim to equip our clients with the tools they need to manage self-destructive behaviors and cultivate healthier relationships within their homes and communities.

Supporting Therapeutic Services

Innovatively integrating performing arts with clinical practices, our Supporting Therapeutic Services offer a dynamic approach to healing. From yoga and meditation to therapeutic painting, our diverse range of activities promotes holistic well-being and self-expression. Additionally, we provide individual and family counseling, parent support groups, and engaging classes such as martial arts and hip-hop dance, fostering personal growth and connection.

Outreach Resource Center

Recognizing the importance of holistic support, our Outreach Resource Center offers a range of essential services to individuals and families in need. From short-term case management to emergency behavioral health services, we provide comprehensive assistance in accessing vital resources and support networks. Additionally, we offer drug and alcohol counseling, psychotherapy, life skills groups, and employment assistance, empowering our community members to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence.

Expanding Our Reach

Once we obtain the Certificate of Need (CON), we are poised to expand our impact by bolstering our team of clinical professionals and support staff. This expansion will enable us to enhance the quality of our services and extend our reach to a broader population in Hartford and beyond. By investing in our team and infrastructure, we are committed to building a stronger, more inclusive community where individuals and families can thrive.

At Build A Better You Family Services, LLC, we believe in the transformative power of support, creativity, and connection. Together, we are dedicated to building brighter futures and empowering individuals to become the best versions of themselves.

Mission

God said "build a better world" I said, "How? The world is such a large, vast place, so complicated now. And I, so small and helpless am. There's nothing I can do." And God, in His great wisdom said, "just build a better you!"
