CBH In Action
The Community Behavioral Health Association of Maryland (CBH) advocates for policy and legislative changes designed to achieve a robust, high quality, clinically integrated behavioral health system for families and individuals in Maryland.
Hill Day 2026
CBH members from across Maryland joined our policy team for Hill Day with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. From CCBHC and SUD programs to 988, workforce, and block grant appropriations, we made sure every Maryland congressional and Senate office heard loud and clear: behavioral health must remain a federal priority. Thank you to our members who stepped away from their programs and the people they serve to make this happen. Your voices carry the weight of lived experience and real-world impact, and that is what legislators need to hear. And a sincere thank you to the legislative staffers who took time out of their busy days to meet with us and asked thoughtful questions about how their offices can make a difference. That kind of engagement means everything. |
