In 1969, the General Assembly passed P.A. 664 that centralized “the state’s efforts to prevent delinquency and treat juveniles” in a new agency known as the Department of Children and Youth Services. The new agency absorbed the Connecticut School for Boys (established 1854) in Meriden and the Long Lane School for Girls (established 1870). The agency currently is the Department of Children and Families and its program areas include services in the areas of mental health, substance abuse, protection for children and youth under 18, foster care, adoption, education and juvenile justice and “funding to community service providers.”
