Erie Mental Health Support: Addressing the Need
Erie, like many communities, faces a significant mental health crisis. The demand for mental health services in Erie County is immense, with Journey to a Trauma Informed Life receiving an average of 55 referrals per month. Through Erie Journey to Wellness, we’re committed to meeting this demand by providing immediate, solution-focused therapy sessions to those on our waiting list.
Working Toward a Solution to the Mental Health Crisis in Erie
Our goal is to enroll 75 participants in the Erie Journey to Wellness program by June 1, 2023, with our dedicated Mental Health Support Staff (MHSS) working diligently to enroll 3-5 Journeyers per week. Our support extends throughout a participant’s average 3-month-long enrollment, where we engage in a collaborative, solution-focused manner, aiming for consistent improvement in their functioning levels throughout the program.
Providing Free Therapy in Erie to Meet the Overwhelming Need
The Erie Journey to Wellness program provides up to ten solution-based therapy sessions to each enrolled individual, and is completely free for clients thanks to the incredible support of The Erie Community Foundation and United Way of Erie.
