💚 Hope in Action Is Connection. 🧡

At Mental Health America of Lancaster-Lebanon Counties, we see every day how meaningful connections can make a difference. Through programs like Compeer, our Community Support Program (CSP), and peer support groups, we help people build friendships, find understanding, and feel less alone.

This ExtraGive, you can help us create more opportunities for connection, compassion, and support throughout Lancaster and Lebanon Counties. Every gift helps strengthen the connections that remind people they are not alone on their mental health journey.

✨ Hope isn’t passive — it’s something we put into action together.

Safety on the jobsite starts with the whole person.

ABC Keystone is hosting a Total Human Health Symposium on October 22 at ABC Keystone's Manheim Office, built around ABC Keystone's Total Human Health initiative and its four pillars: Financial, Mental, Physical and Social Health.
When all four are strong, the people doing the work are too. That shows up in safer jobsites, better quality work, and teams that look out for each other.

Join us to hear Richard Maggio, Mental Health America of Lancaster County and Lebanon County, and learn practical ideas to build a healthy working environment physically, and mentally for your team and your jobsites.

Registration details in the comments.

October is ADHD Awareness Month 💚

ADHD isn’t just something kids experience. Many adults live with ADHD too, and some are not diagnosed until later in life.

ADHD can affect focus, organization, managing emotions, relationships, work, school, and everyday life. Understanding what is underneath the challenges can make a real difference.

If you or your family need support navigating mental health, school, or community resources, our advocates are here to help.

October is Dyslexia Awareness Month. 💙

Dyslexia can affect more than reading and spelling. When a child is working hard and still struggling, it can also affect confidence, self-esteem, anxiety, and how they feel about school.

Sometimes what looks like avoidance, frustration, or shutting down is a child feeling overwhelmed or discouraged.

At Mental Health America of Lancaster County, we know how closely school experiences and mental health can be connected. Children need support that looks at the whole child, not just the academic struggle.

If your child is struggling at school and it is affecting their emotional well-being, our Family & Child Advocacy Program can help families understand supports, navigate school concerns, and connect with resources.

We’ve been busy this fall bringing mental health education into schools, workplaces, programs, and community spaces across Lancaster County.

So far, we’ve provided Mental Health and You at Hempfield and Cocalico, with Warwick coming soon; QPR Su***de Prevention at Millersville University, with Eurofins coming up; and mental health education and training for Lighthouse Vocational Services, Pleasant View, CSG STAR, and the Su***de Prevention Coalition Conference.

We’ve also offered fi***rm safe storage classes throughout the county and professional development for IU13, Conestoga Valley, and Manheim Central.

We are grateful for every opportunity to help our community better understand mental health, reduce stigma, recognize when someone may need support, and know how to respond.

Interested in bringing mental health education or training to your school, workplace, organization, or community? Call 717-397-7461 or visit mhalancaster.org to learn more about MHA’s education services.
