Maryland Coalition of Families (MCF) is a leading statewide nonprofit organization that has been supporting Maryland families since 1999. As the first and only organization of its kind in the state, MCF offers family peer support to individuals and families who are dealing with mental health, substance use, or problem gambling challenges. Their dedicated Family Peer Support Specialists, who have personal experience caring for their own loved ones, provide emotional support, resource connection, and systems navigation at no cost to those they assist. MCF also advocates for improved services and systems that impact individuals with behavioral health challenges, recognizing the importance of these issues to families and loved ones.
MCF's mission is to connect families through shared experiences, drawing on their staff's firsthand knowledge of caring for someone with a behavioral health issue. They offer emotional support, share knowledge, build skills, and connect Maryland families with resources and opportunities in their own communities. With a focus on children's mental health, adult mental health, substance use, early childhood, and problem gambling, MCF has made a significant impact by providing individualized support to thousands of families, organizing support groups and workshops, and offering a wide range of resources for mental health services, substance use treatment, education, self-care, and more. Through their efforts, MCF aims to create a supportive environment for families and improve the overall well-being of individuals facing behavioral health challenges in Maryland.
