Gov. Dannel Malloy has unveiled state budget proposals he says are intended to fix mental health issues that were not addressed in initiatives launched after a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary school in December 2012, killing 20 first-graders and six educators.

Malloy's budget includes $250,000 to promote a stigma-free environment that would make it easier for people suffering from mental illness to seek treatment without being ashamed.

The budget dedicated $5 million, when fully annualized, to improve mental health services for the poor, including young people with serious mental illness.

The budget also provides $2.2 million in new funding to support subsidized housing for 110 people with mental illness.

Malloy is also proposing a legislative change to require all police officers in Connecticut to receive training regarding responding to situations involving people with mental illnesses.
