Supporting Maryland Families Since 1999
Maryland Coalition of Families (MCF) is the first and only statewide nonprofit organization that offers family peer support to people and families who have a loved one experiencing mental health, substance use, or problem gambling challenges. Using their personal experience caring for their own loved one, our Family Peer Support Specialists offer emotional support, resource connection and systems navigation at no cost to those we help. We also advocate to improve services and systems that impact individuals with behavioral health challenges because these issues are important to our families and loved ones too.

They draw on their own experience to offer emotional support, share knowledge, build skills and connect Maryland families with resources and opportunities in their own communities.
