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.

April is Stress Awareness Month — a reminder that stress is a normal part of life, but managing it is key to protecting your mental and physical health.

Stress can show up in many ways—emotionally, mentally, and physically. The good news? Small, intentional steps can make a big difference.

Take time to check in with yourself, prioritize your well-being, and reach out for support when you need it.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you’re not alone. Support is available through the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline—call or text 988 anytime.
