Today, on Global Peer Support Celebration Day, we recognize the power of lived experience, connection, and community in mental health.

MHAMD is grateful for our ongoing partnership with The Parents' Place of Maryland (PPMD) to strengthen peer support for families and caregivers across Maryland. Through this collaboration, family partners are being trained around behavioral health issues so they can provide support and connect families with helpful resources as they navigate a loved one’s mental health or substance use challenges.

Peer support reminds us that shared experiences can create meaningful pathways to hope, connection, and healing.
