Mid-Shore Mental Health Systems

Core Service Agency for the Mid-Shore. Our Organization MSMHS is a Private Not for Profit 501(C)(3) Organization, serving Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s and Talbot Counties. MSMHS was incorporated in 1993 through a collaboration of the five county governments and mental health stakeholders. We are a Core Service Agency (CSA), the Local Mental Health Authority, under contract with the Mental Hygiene Administration (MHA), Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Administration (DHMH). The Annotated Code of Maryland Health General Article 10-1202 and 1203 mandates CSAs. Our Responsibility Our responsibility is to plan, manage and monitor publicly funded, medically necessary mental health services in the five county region for consumers of all ages; children, adolescents, adults and the geriatric population. On the local level the CSA assures that mental health services are developed, the needs of the consumer are met and the services developed are quality services. The CSA acts as the county government’s agent to meet the needs of the county residents under a letter of agreement. We work collaboratively with all county agencies such as the Local Management Boards, Department of Social Services, Education etc. Our Mission MSMHS's mission is to continually improve the provision of mental health services for residents of Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot Counties through effective coordination of services in collaboration with consumers, family members, providers and community leaders. We believe that the mental health system should assure quality, cost-effective services that meet the needs of our consumers. Consumers are the focus of MSMHS, and it is our goal through partnership with other agencies to develop a full array of easily accessible services for the consumer. We strongly believe in the empowerment of individuals, consumers, and family members to help develop their fullest potential. Our Vision The vision of Mid-Shore Mental Health Systems, Inc. is to develop a model rural mental health delivery system with a continuum of mental health services that are culturally diverse. These services assure consumer empowerment, have a community focus, are cost-effective for the system and are integrated to serve the community as a whole, private and public sector, regardless of cultural or ethnic background.
