Black Mental Health Alliance
About Black Mental Health Alliance
Since 1983, the Black Mental Health Alliance for Education and Consultation, Inc. has served as a vital pillar of mental health advocacy and support in Baltimore, Maryland. Founded by visionary leaders committed to addressing disparities in mental health care, BMHA emerged from a recognition that African Americans and communities of color deserved mental health services that honored their cultural identity, historical context, and unique experiences.
What sets BMHA apart is its unwavering commitment to cultural relevance and community-centered care. The organization believes that optimal mental health cannot be achieved through a one-size-fits-all approach, but rather through programs, consultations, and educational resources specifically designed for the populations served. BMHA's philosophy—rooted in Concern for Others, Integrity, Respect for Diversity, and Empowerment—guides every initiative and interaction.
Beyond direct services, BMHA functions as a catalyst for systemic change, working to transform how mental health care is understood, delivered, and accessed across Baltimore and the broader region. Through support groups, public information campaigns, professional training, and collaborative partnerships, BMHA builds bridges between individuals seeking help and providers equipped to offer culturally competent care. The organization's 40+ year legacy demonstrates a deep commitment to healing, justice, and the belief that every person deserves mental health support that recognizes and celebrates their cultural identity.
