We will also be posting our upcoming training and workshops on our Network of Care Site located at: www.networkofcare.org (under Mental Health, Maryland, Anne Arundel)
The Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency is looking for qualified individuals to provide training opportunities for possible future training events. Specifically, professionals who could provide teaching experiences in the areas of Case Management, Healthy Cooking/ Healthy Eating Habits, treating adolescents with co-occurring disorders, health issues for the aging Behavioral Health population and early childhood Behavioral Health issues/treatment. Some trainings will require educational credentials for the allowance of CEU’s for licensed Psychologists, Social Workers and LCPCs. Please send information to: mhaaac@aol.com.

Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week
April 29 - May 3, 2019
What is the Maternal Mental Health Social Media Awareness Week Campaign?
The campaign was launched in 2014 to reach mothers, families and the general public to raise awareness about maternal mental health disorders, like postpartum depression, which impact up to one in five women in the U.S.
Each year the theme changes, however the blue dot, the international symbol for MMH, is shared on memes used during the campaign to bring continuity to the images and raise awareness of the symbol.
The aim is to combat stigma and shame through mass social media reach, with you, our larger community

March for Our Minds
May 1, 2019
5:00 am - 6:20 am
March for Our Minds is a student organized march that will start at St. Martins in the Field and end at Severna Park High School at 6am. We decided to make the march before school instead of after so that students don’t have to choose between extra curricular activities and standing up for their best interests. This march serves the purpose of bringing awareness to our dire need of more mental health related resources in our schools.
All community members are welcome, not just students!

Welcome to Our Minds Matter. We are students who, like so many other people, are tired of the stigma surrounding mental illness. One in five adults and one in five children in the United States struggle with mental illness in a given year so it is time for us to step up and shed light on this issue.
Come rally with us on May 18th from 11am to 12pm to show your dedication to mental health awareness in our community. This rally will include speakers of a multitude of different backgrounds to help educate us on the true impact that mental illness can have.
