Pennsylvania has been working to improve access to mental health care services. The state has a network of community mental health centers, private therapists and counselors, and crisis hotlines. Efforts have been made to increase access through telehealth services, school-based mental health programs, and collaborations with primary care providers.
Pennsylvania offers various mental health resources to its residents. The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services provides information and resources on mental health services and programs. Local community mental health centers, nonprofit organizations, and advocacy groups such as NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Pennsylvania offer support, education, and resources.
