Bipartisan group of Maryland senators back bills to create ‘world-class mental health care system’

A bipartisan group of Maryland senators came together Friday to share their vision for a more robust system of mental health care in the state. “We know this has been a policy issue for decades, and frankly long before any of us got here, and in some cases before any of us were born,” Senate President Bill Ferguson (D-Baltimore City) said. “But today we are here saying that in this post-pandemic period, we are going to do what it takes in Maryland to create a world-class mental health care system.”
