Abstract
Mental health needs are common in primary care, but stigma, insurance barriers, and provider shortages limit access to care. To address this gap at a local primary care clinic, I created a brochure listing local therapists, psychiatrists, insurance accepted, telehealth options, and key hotlines in New Canaan and Norwalk, Connecticut. Information was gathered through provider interviews and verified with trusted directories.
