Our mental health ally program is an initiative for adults who struggle with their mental health. For adults with Medicaid, a severe mental health diagnosis is required to qualify [see Medicaid qualifying diagnoses on the next tab].

For adults without Maryland Medicaid, no qualification is required except a payment of $65 per session.The program is based on the recovery and person-centered models of rehabilitation.  

By participating in the program, participants are provided with:

• A life coach/mentor to help guide them
• Skills and support to embrace their mental wellness
• Tools to enhance the quality of their life
• Encouragement and guidance to pursue personally valued roles in their living, learning, work and social environments
  
  

The purpose of the program is to:

• Promote recovery and resiliency
• Empower the individual so that they may function successfully and live as independently as possible in their community
• All PRP participants will receive high-quality, person-centered services tailored to their individual needs. With the support of their mentor, participants will live successfully in their community equipped with the tools and resources to address living, working, mental, emotional and social functioning.

As a result of having an increased access to mental health care services and support, it is our hope that all participants will have a reduced use of more intensive interventions.
