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.

What does a “good day” look like to you?

For Mental Health Month 2026, the theme “More Good Days, Together” invites all of us to define that for ourselves — and help make it possible for others.

For some, a good day means feeling energized.
For others, it simply means getting through.

Wherever you are, your experience matters.

At Staunton Farm Foundation, we believe more good days start with:
✔ Access to quality mental health and substance use services
✔ Communities that support one another
✔ Open conversations that reduce stigma

💬 This month, we encourage you to take a moment to reflect — and to check in with someone in your life. Small actions can make a meaningful difference.

Explore tools, resources, and ways to get involved: mhanational.org/2026-mental-health-month-action-guide/

If you need immediate support, call or text 988 — help is always available.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month — a time to reflect, connect, and take action.

This year’s theme, “More Good Days, Together,” reminds us that mental wellness isn’t just an individual journey — it’s something we build as communities.

A “good day” doesn’t have to mean perfect. It can be:
• Feeling supported
• Finding a moment of calm
• Reaching out for help
• Showing up for someone else

At Staunton Farm Foundation, we’re working to create more of those days by supporting organizations that expand access to care, reduce stigma, and strengthen behavioral health systems across our region.

💚 This month, take one small step: check in with yourself, reach out to someone, or explore resources that support your mental health.

If you or someone you know needs support, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — available 24/7.
