The Butler County Commissioners are joining with colleagues across the state to ask for an increase in state funding for mental health services.
The County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania has announced an initiative to increase mental health funding which has remained static in recent years while state mandates and service needs increase.
According to Human Services officials, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought more strain on individuals as well as families so the number of people expected to utilize these programs is expected to increase.
Mental health programs administered by Butler County include crisis services, assertive community treatment, psychiatric rehabilitation, case management, supportive housing programs, outpatient services, certified peer support, and numerous services for children.
