In October 2015, the Behavioral Health Advisory Council was created within the Governor's Office (Chapter 328, Acts of 2015). The Council replaces both the Maryland State Drug and Alcohol Abuse Council and the Maryland Advisory Council on Mental Hygiene.
Behavior health concerns a range of health matters, including mental health, substance use disorders, and addictive behaviors.
The Behavioral Health Advisory Council works to enhance behavioral health services statewide. It promotes policy, workforce development, and services that will ensure a system of care that is coordinated and integrates prevention, recovery, and cost-effective strategies. Further, the Council advocates for a culturally comprehensive approach to publicly funded services for prevention, early intervention, and recovery services to support individuals with behavioral health disorders and their families.
