Across the nation, mental health needs are at crisis-level, creating substantial impacts on all parts of life including physical health, quality of life and even a student’s ability to learn in school. Here in the Greater Lehigh Valley:

• 43% of youth report feeling depressed most days,
• 40% of adults report symptoms of depression or anxiety,
• 25% of seniors report feeling isolated from their community, and
• The suicide rate is 34% higher than the state average, with Carbon County reporting the highest suicide rate among veterans in Pennsylvania.

You can help to meet these growing needs and ensure more children, families, older adults and veterans have access to the critical mental health services they need to thrive.

Donate today to provide resources including:

• Student mental health services in United Way Community Schools;
• Programs to combat social isolation among older adults;
• Housing, shelter and case management for veterans;
• In-home services for babies and parents, and more.

To directly support this initiative, make a contribution to the United Way Mental Health Fund.
