of Pennsylvania
Accelerating practice innovation and collaborative care
What We Do
For the past 18 years, we've been working to strengthen behavioral health programming across Pennsylvania through expanded mental health screening, increased staff training, and access to technology.
​
Through multiple collaborations and grants, we've created a network of stakeholders that include clinicians and staff who work in emergency departments, schools, primary care practices, community-based organizations, and behavioral health clinics.
​
This network has generated best practices and high quality research that can benefit both state and local programs throughout the country. We created a hub to share this information with the public and continue our collaborative efforts outside of funding cycles.

Years of consistent two-way communication and strong relationships built with school personnel, parents, and students are the key to Mercer County Behavioral Health Commission’s (MCBHC) success in addressing student behavioral and mental health. Mix in dedicated client services and their Camp Kids program for 5th and 6th graders, and it’s a recipe for buy-in at an early age.
