Directory of Baltimore City Community Resources This directory was made possible through funding support from Open Society Institute – Baltimore and Baltimore City Health Department Updated 10.15.2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This directory was developed by Dr. Nancy Lever, Aya Ghunney, Jessica Lertola, Krystal Lewis, Kerri Stiegler, Sylvia McCree-Huntley, and clinicians and staff from the University of Maryland School Mental Health Program and Center for School Mental Health within the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Thanks to all who have recommended helpful resources to make this directory more comprehensive and useful. We are indebted to our funders, Open Society Institute - Baltimore and the Baltimore City Health Department. We would also like to acknowledge Dr. Joshua M. Sharfstein, Baltimore City Health Commissioner, and the Baltimore City Council for their vision to improve expanded school mental health services and to support consultation and technical assistance efforts. The inclusion of resources within this directory is not meant to imply an endorsement of any program or the services provided. With the wide array of services available in Baltimore City, it is challenging to capture all services available. We apologize if we have inadvertently not included programs and resources that are available. This directory will continue to be updated by University of Maryland staff and through input from those utilizing this important resource. If there are any updates/additions/deletions, please email Dr. Lever, [email protected]. It is our hope that this resource will be a valuable addition to all who are working together to help youth be successful.
