About us
The Mental Health Association of Maryland (MHAMD) is the state’s only volunteer, nonprofit citizen’s organization that brings together consumers, families, professionals, advocates and concerned citizens for unified action in all aspects of mental health and mental illness. The Mental Health Association of Maryland believes that mental health care is a fundamental human right that includes emotional health, but also so much more: improved physical health, addiction recovery, lower health care costs, greater equity and opportunity, and the capacity to realize our hopes and dreams. We’re committed to ensuring the wellbeing of all Marylanders through advancing public policy, monitoring service quality, providing training and education, leading systems change, and advancing new evidence-based treatments. We envision a just, humane and healthy society in which all people are accorded respect, dignity and the opportunity to achieve their full potential free from stigma and prejudice.

In the U.S., communities of African descent experience mental health conditions about as much as or less than white Americans. However, the historical experience of these communities in the U.S. has been - and continues to be - characterized by trauma and violence more often than for their white counterparts. As part of our celebration of Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month this July, we’ve added new resources for BIPOC communities to our website.
