Mental Health

Caring about and maintaining our mental health is as important as our physical health. We only have one brain and one body, so it’s our job to keep it running in the best way we can by paying attention to and working to improve our mental and physical health.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, such as suicidal thoughts or actions of self-harm, please call the Maryland Crisis Hotline:

Call: 800-422-0009

Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

or Dial

Use the tools, resources, events and engagement tools to improve mental health literacy in your community and help change the conversation.
