State lawmakers and mental health advocates say one of the main concerns this year is lack of funding for mental health programs in Pennsylvania.
At least 152 million people across the country live in a mental health workforce shortage, according to the most recent data from Mental Health America, with Pennsylvania ranking 33 out of 51 when it comes to comes to the number of people seeking treatment to providers.Pennsylvania had about 16. That’s only 422 child and adolescent psychiatrists for 2.7 million children.
“People are leaving the mental health field cause they’re just not making enough," said Kim McDevitt, the executive director with Mental Health America of Lancaster County."They’re closing programs in Lancaster County because there isn’t funding.” While $20 million may keep the status quo, rising costs and a dramatic workforce shortage have advocates and state lawmakers worried it's just a drop in the bucket.
