The Mission of the Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency is to provide leadership and collaboration for planning, monitoring, and managing of a comprehensive, quality, person-centered, Behavioral Health continuum of care for Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders that promotes prevention, recovery, resiliency, health and wellness for our residents who have, or who are at risk for, these behavioral health disorders.
The AACMHA envisions and works to create and continuously improve a Public Behavioral Health System that is flexible, responsive, and meets the needs of the people it serves. This system will have a single point of entry, a single point of decision-making, and the ability to access appropriate services from any point in any system, which are crucial to responsive, individualized, and coordinated care, focused on wellness and recovery.

Of the many programs provided through the AACMHA, the Crisis Response System (CRS) stands out as one of the most innovative crisis systems throughout the State. Individuals with mental health and substance use disorders who are experiencing a crisis have traditionally been treated in hospital emergency departments or have become incarcerated.
Safe Stations allows persons with substance use disorders, who are looking for treatment, to walk into a police or fire station and request assistance. Once at the station, the individual will be given a medical assessment by emergency medical services (EMS) personnel. If they do not need immediate medical attention, a Crisis Response team is contacted to provide further access to SUD treatment and follow-up care.
The Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency and the Anne Arundel County Department of Health have compiled the following information and resources for addressing mental health and overall well-being of children and adults. These resources are important for both those directly impacted by a crisis (such as victims, witnesses, responders) as well as others in the community.
