THE CT MIRROR REPORTS A REGRETABLE RESIGNATION: PATRICIAL REHMER TO STEP DOWN AS DHMAS HEAD!

According to Arielle Levin Becker of The CT Mirror,

"Patricia Rehmer, the state’s commissioner of mental health and addiction services, is stepping down for a “new opportunity” outside state government, a source said Sunday.

Details on Rehmer’s departure were not immediately clear. She was not available for comment Sunday.

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy reappointed Rehmer in December, and she went through a legislative confirmation hearing earlier this month.

Rehmer has led the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services since 2009. She has drawn praise from legislators, mental health advocates, and treatment providers, who cite her advocacy for people the agency serves and efforts to preserve services in spite of tight budgets."
