The organization describes its work as community assessment, planning, advocacy, education, and support for evidence-based approaches to behavioral health prevention, treatment, and recovery. Its 2024 filing also describes monitoring and evaluating programs coordinated with the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, and representing community members in planning and advisory bodies.
The 2025 grants were designated for local prevention councils. Among the supported organizations, Catalyst CT Inc. describes its own mission as building healthier and safer communities free from harms caused by substance abuse and related crime and violence, through community education and prevention programs, principally in the Greater Bridgeport area and also throughout Connecticut.
