Why Is This Project Important?

Previous research by Penn Highlands Huntingdon has shown that there are gaps in and barriers to mental healthcare services in Huntingdon County. We intend to clarify what these gaps and barriers are and how we can best address them. We have collected survey data on the perceptions of mental health services which will be shared with organizations across the healthcare, education, and human services sectors in Huntingdon County. It also will be used to inform the development of programs and initiatives that will help to improve the health and quality of life of our community.
