Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

MCF seeks to connect more families with support as they care for someone with a mental health, substance use or problem gambling challenge and advocate to improve systems and services that support individuals with behavioral health challenges. We want to strengthen families because support and connection from close friends and family leads to better outcomes for individuals with behavioral health challenges. We want to address the inequities in systems designed to help people with mental health, substance use or problems gambling disorders and their families and ensure fair access to resources and treatment.

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Family Peer Support

Using our lived experience caring for our own loved ones with behavioral health conditions, MCF staff offer emotional support, resource connection and systems navigation to parents, caregivers and other loved ones. Staff listen without judgment to a family's concerns and help them to improve a child or loved one’s situation at school or work, in the home and in the community. Services are provided at no cost.

Population(s) Served

MCF's Family Leadership Institute is a annual 6-week course that trains parents and caregivers of children with behavioral health conditions to be advocates for themselves, their loved ones and their communities. Institute participants benefit from workshops led by State leaders from the Department of Education, Human Services and the Behavioral Health Administration as well as behavioral health experts. They use what they learn in the Institute to provide family voice in the rooms and at the tables where decisions about them are being made. They apply skills they have learned to advocate in Annapolis on legislative priorities to benefit the behavioral health community.

MCF's Taking Flight program is support by young adults for young adults. Taking Flight staff offer peer support through social media and meet up events. They also serve on State committees and workgroups to provide young adult voice in the rooms and at the tables where decisions about them are being made. The program supports young adults aged 18 - 26 as they transition from adolescents to adulthood, a time when challenges and stressors can be exacerbated by behavioral health challenges.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

1. Elevate MCF to be a leader in the field of family peer support. We want to be seen as the State's go-to expert on issues that impact families.
2. Increase MCF's visibility among key stakeholders to educate them about what family peer support is and why its critical to the health and wellbeing of the entire family and leads to better outcomes for those with behavioral health challenges.
3. Bolster Education and Advocacy efforts to ensure family voice is represented when policy and legislative decisions are under consideration.

MCF will build a Family Peer Support Academy which will standardize a model for training new Family Peer Support Specialists, increase those with national certification and build a Maryland-specific certification program. We will implement policies and programs to promote wellness and professional development opportunities for our staff. We will develop and strengthen relationships with community partners and other key stakeholders

MCF will create consistent messaging and identify where we can be most impactful in our community. We will design an outreach plan to reach the most underserved parts of our State to ensure they have support and access to resources We will develop a marketing plan that promotes wellness and reduces stigma associated with behavioral health challenges.

MCF will build strong relationships with our elected leaders, thought leaders, policymakers and community organizations. We will ensure family voice is represented statewide committees work groups . We will enhance our family leadership program which trains families to be advocates for their loved ones, themselves and their community.

Since 1999, MCF has been Maryland's primary provider of family peer support services. We are governed by a strong board of directors and led by a senior leadership team with more than 75 years of nonprofit experience combined. We are financially stable and in FY24, the board committed resources to building a development department to help the organization diversify its funding portfolio. We have staff in all 24 Maryland jurisdictions who live and work in the communities they serve. We have strong relationships with Maryland's key agencies serving children, youth and families.

MCF has seen exponential growth in the number of families seeking our services since 2020. We continue to apply for and obtain additional funding to expand our services to ensure we can meet the needs of the families we serve. We have built the foundation for the Family Peer Support Academy and will soon hire a Professional Development Training Manager to oversee its implementation and expansion. We have hired a Chief Development Officer to stand up our new development department and have begun applying for funding that will diversify our portfolio. We have engaged a consulting firm that specializes in nonprofit communications to help develop a message and marketing plan. We have strengthened internal infrastructure as well as policies and procedures in anticipation of growth that will result from our newly implemented Strategic Plan.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
