Honor the Legacy. Strengthen the Future.
For more than a century, the Mental Health Association of Maryland has advanced a simple conviction: when someone needs mental health support, help should be there.
As CEO Linda Raines prepares to retire after 40 years at MHAMD, we celebrate progress made through the steadfast work of advocates, partners and supporters—and invite you to strengthen the work that must continue.
MHAMD helps families find reliable information, equips people to respond to mental health concerns, advocates for better access to care, and brings the voices of those receiving services into efforts to improve care. In the past year, school-based mental health funding supported services reaching more than 218,000 students in 90% of Maryland schools.
Government and restricted funding support important programs, but do not fully sustain the advocacy, public education, partnerships and responsiveness MHAMD needs. An unrestricted gift makes this work possible year after year.
Please consider $50, $100, $250, $500 or another meaningful amount. Monthly giving is also welcome.
Thank you for helping carry this legacy forward.
