In a world that can feel loud, divided, and overwhelming, choose to be the calm. Choose kindness. Choose understanding. Choose compassion.

A kind word, a listening ear, or a small act of love can ripple farther than you realize. Peace doesn’t always start with big moments; it starts with us.

Keep the Door Open Rally!�Standing up for fully funded, quality mental health and substance use care.
When we protect behavioral health, we protect our communities.




!

02/27/2026

Yesterday, hundreds of Maryland residents gathered at Lawyers Mall in Annapolis for the Keep the Door Open Rally, standing alongside providers and mental health advocates to call on state lawmakers to ensure strong funding and continued support for critical mental health and substance use treatment services.

The rally highlighted the urgent need for reliable access to behavioral health care across Maryland. Cutting or underfunding these essential services leaves vulnerable individuals and families without the support they need.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, especially those who traveled from the Eastern Shore to bring your voices, your signs, and your support. Together, we stood up for access to quality mental health and substance use care and urged the Maryland General Assembly to provide the funding necessary for our communities to truly thrive.

A special thank you to our Board Member, Senator Jonny Mautz, and Jeff Shultz of ASFP and member of the Mid Shore Su***de Coalition, for their powerful words of support and leadership at this important event.
