Juneteenth is a day to celebrate, reflect, and recommit. This Juneteenth, we honor the strength and resilience of Black Marylanders while acknowledging what the data consistently shows: Black Americans face persistent barriers to mental health care, including a shortage of culturally competent providers and systemic inequities in access and coverage.
These barriers are real, but they are not insurmountable. MHAMD works every day alongside communities, advocates, and policymakers to dismantle them, because we believe every person in Maryland deserves respect, dignity, and the opportunity to achieve their full potential, free from stigma and prejudice.
