The Maryland Coalition of Families is a nonprofit 501c3 organization founded in 1999 and governed by a Board of Directors comprised of at least 51 of people with lived experience caring for someone with a behavioral health challenge. As experienced caregivers, we provide support, guidance, and hope to people who love or care for someone with a behavioral health challenge and advocate to improve the systems they rely on.
Service
The Maryland Coalition of Families provides hope, guidance, and support to people who love and care for someone with mental health, substance use, or problem gambling challenges. We have personal experience supporting someone we love so we understand firsthand how difficult it can be to navigate complex systems and access critical resources. We also know how comforting it can be to have someone to lean on who is reliable and knowledgeable and who listens with understanding and compassion. All services - one-to-one support, support groups, workshops or trainings - are confidential and offered at no cost to you regardless of income or insurance.
