The Maryland Coalition on Mental Health and Aging (the "Coalition") was established in 1994 and was soon adopted as a program of the Mental Health Association of Maryland, a non-profit citizens’ organization concerned with all aspects of mental health and mental illness.  The Coalition was established with the recognition that older adult mental health needs were unique and often overlooked.

The Maryland Coalition on Mental Health and Aging provides a forum for aging, mental health, consumer, family and professional associations and government agencies to work together to address concerns and improve the situation for older adults with mental health needs.

Anyone can join in the work of the Maryland Coalition on Mental Health and Aging.  The Coalition meets every other month, usually on the fourth Thursday of the month from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM in the offices of the Mental Health Association of Maryland, 711 W. 40th Street, Suite 460, Baltimore, Maryland 21211. 

The meetings are open to any interested person.  Meeting attendance is not mandatory to be a member of the Coalition.
