Mental Health Tip Corner: Mental Health Awareness Month

Friday, May 12, 2023

You are worthy. You are enough. It’s okay not to feel okay. It’s okay to ask for help. We hope some of these tips will help you on your journey. You matter to us, and we are always just a phone call away!

During May (and truly every month), we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month as a way to educate our communities about the importance of mental health, reduce stigma surrounding mental health conditions and promote the accessibility of mental health resources and support. It’s okay to ask for help.

“Coming out of prison, my rehabilitation counselor helped me find a job and referred me to an OUTSTANDING Therapist that helped me understand my emotions. I would definitely recommend Maryland Wellness to anyone!!!”
– A.J., Waldorf
“When I first started, I was afraid to talk but once they started telling me about this program, I started to open up more. They taught me that I am important; it’s about me today. They have taught me to forget about the past and focus on my goals – my GED,  nursing, helping the homeless, volunteering, etc. This is the most amazing, awesome program in Baltimore, and that’s from my heart. The staff is wonderful, amazing, beautiful, unique and have hearts of gold.”
– K.S., Baltimore

“I absolutely felt 100% at ease talking. I’m so happy that I’ve found this place.”
