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.

Looking Back with Gratitude, Moving Forward with Hope

As we close out 2025, we’re pausing to reflect with deep gratitude for the human services providers across Southwestern Pennsylvania who continued to show up with compassion, creativity, and resilience—despite unprecedented challenges.

From funding uncertainty to system-wide instability, this year tested our behavioral health community. And still, you found ways to serve, support, and stand together for those who need care the most.
We are inspired by the work of our partners—from strengthening peer-led family support, to expanding evidence-based care for youth, to creating new pathways for crisis stabilization. These efforts, and so many others, remind us what’s possible when we lead with collaboration and commitment.

As we move into 2026, Staunton Farm Foundation is grateful to walk alongside you. Together, we remain focused on building a stronger, more equitable, and more responsive behavioral health system for our region.

Thank you for the work you do—today and every day. 💚
— Monique Jackson
Executive Director, Staunton Farm Foundation
