The 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.  Since 1999, our Family Peer Support Specialists have used their personal experiences caring for their own loved ones to 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.
