Former Philadelphia Flyer Chris Therien Joins PA Mental Health Center
Pennsylvania Mental Health
Pennsylvania Behavioral Health Center is excited to announce the newest addition to our team, Chris Therien. As a former NHL defenseman, Chris is no stranger to high-pressure situations, but he’s also no stranger to the mental health struggles that many people face today.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, one in five adults in the United States experienced some form of mental illness in 2020. That’s a shocking 51.5 million people. Depression, anxiety, and substance abuse are among the most common diagnoses. Unfortunately, many people don’t seek treatment due to stigma, lack of access, or other barriers.
