Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency

November 11th is Veterans Day, a day of reflection and an opportunity to honor those who have served on behalf of our country. The Anne Arundel County Veterans Services Coordination Center serves as a single access point for local, state, and federal government services and resources available to veterans and their families. Center staff are available to help find services for mental health resources, substance misuse recovery, veterans benefits, and much more.

In addition, the Anne Arundel County Network of Care Veteran's website provides information about resources, Star Behavioral Health providers, and more.

The month of November is National Caregiver Month. This designation is intended to raise awareness of the important role family caregivers play, the hard work they do (often unpaid) and ways to support them in the challenges they face. The Anne Arundel County Department of Aging and Disabilities has monthly support meetings, workshops and resources for our local caregivers.

International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day is held annually on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention invites suicide loss survivors to attend one of their planned events, including virtual options, to connect with a community of people who understand their unique loss, and to find hope through shared experience.

We would like to wish everyone a healthy and peaceful Thanksgiving, with opportunities to spend time with friends and loved ones, and encourage you to join us in taking a moment moment to find gratitude for that which you cherish.

If you are in crisis and need help, call 988 or our Warmline is open 24/7 at 410-768-5522.
