2018 Candidate Responses - Keep the Door Open Maryland

Behavioral health encompasses the full range of both mental health and substance use disorders. Unfortunately, the need for treatment continues to grow and a harmful stigma associated with these illnesses is compounding barriers to recovery. Maryland’s governor and state legislators will have an opportunity and an obligation during the next term (2019 – 2022) to enact policies that increase access to behavioral health treatment and services.

The Maryland Behavioral Health Coalition is a diverse mix of more than fifty non-governmental, non-profit organizations.
