Mental Health

The Office of Mental Health is an administrative office that contracts with local agencies to provide mental health services and supports.  Typically, residents without health insurance may qualify for some county funding.  Six local agencies serve as entry points to assess needs and help provide services.

If you or someone you care about is experiencing a mental health or emotional crisis, call Valley Creek Crisis Intervention at 610-280-3270 or 610-918-2100. If lonely, depressed, or anxious contact the consumer-run Warm Line at 1-866-846-2722.
