Welcome to Equal Treatment Maryland

Equal Treatment Maryland is a coordinated effort to educate candidates for office about the rising demand for mental health and substance use care. The campaign will seek commitments from candidates for office to ensure all Marylanders have access to quality behavioral health care when and where needed.

Our success depends on Marylanders from across the state standing up and speaking with one voice to demand Equal Treatment for our friends and loved ones living with mental health and substance use disorders.

Use your voice through the actions below to urge Maryland’s candidates for Governor to support mental health and substance use care when and where Marylanders need it.
