Since 1937, we have been pioneers in helping address mental health in Western Pennsylvania.
Still are.

Staunton Farm Foundation, through collaboration, innovation and advocacy, is investing in a future where behavioral health is understood, supported, and accepted. Now, in our 85th year, we continue to advance this mission; join us to spread the word of good work in our community.

Matilda Staunton Craig had a bold vision: provide people working on their mental health with “fresh air and sunshine.” While today’s activities look vastly different, thanks to powerful partnerships across ten Western Pennsylvania counties, the dream endures.

These three numbers could save a life: 988.

In July of 2022, 988 became the new three-digit dialing code that routes callers to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This life-changing hotline for mental health crises should make it easier for people to gain access to services and, potentially, reduce police interventions.

Staunton Farm Foundation has long advocated for the hotline. And now, in light of its implementation, is working to ensure that the region’s mental and behavioral health infrastructure is up to the challenge. You, too, can help support this effort by working to #Fund988.

We’re proud to see one of our grantees featured in the news.

HAVIN, Inc recently announced grant funding from FISA Foundation and Staunton Farm Foundation to partner with the Gabby Petito Foundation to provide specialized domestic violence response training for first responders and medical providers in Armstrong County.

The training, “Unseen Advocates: The Vital Role of First Responders in Domestic Violence Response,” equips law enforcement, fire, EMS, and allied professionals with the tools to recognize signs of strangulation, understand trauma’s impact, and respond using trauma-informed practices.

Strengthening first responder awareness helps ensure survivors are seen, supported, and connected to care.

We’re honored to support this important work.

Happy Women’s History Month!

This March, we celebrate the women who have shaped our communities, advanced mental health care, strengthened families, and led movements for lasting change.

From clinicians and researchers to advocates and nonprofit leaders, women continue to drive progress in mental health and substance use prevention and treatment — often serving on the front lines of care and innovation.

Women’s History Month is an opportunity to reflect on those who paved the way, recognize the leaders creating impact today, and recommit to ensuring access to high-quality behavioral health services for all.

Here’s to the resilience, leadership, and vision of women — past, present, and future.
