Peer Resources
What MAPS will help with, what it will not, the training it is building, and what happens if you get in touch. Written plainly.
Maryland asks Certified Peer Recovery Specialists to carry real professional responsibility — ethical duties, supervised hours, complex systems. MAPS is the independent structure that makes sure they do not carry it alone.
“MAPS turns isolated concerns into informed action, better policy, and stronger systems.”
Four ways into this, depending on why you came.
What MAPS will help with, what it will not, the training it is building, and what happens if you get in touch. Written plainly.
The evidence, the six functions MAPS proposes, what it will and will not do, and how peer control is guaranteed rather than promised.
What MAPS would publish, how it stays independent of the people it advocates to, the legal structure, and where founding partners come in.
The workforce survey decides what MAPS builds first. It is confidential, answers are deleted after about six months, and only counts and themes are ever published.
MAPS services have not begun, but the Peer Resource Hub has. It is a free, plain directory of places in Maryland that can help — training and certification, benefits and legal help, crisis and recovery support. No account, nothing tracked.
Listing a service is not a recommendation of it, and nothing on it is advice about your situation.
We will write when there is something worth saying — the survey findings, the pilot launching, ways to take part. Not often, and never a newsletter for the sake of one.
Your address is kept until you unsubscribe, and is never shared or sold. Unlike email you send us and survey answers — both deleted after about six months — a mailing list address is held until you ask us to remove it. How we handle your information.
MAPS begins as a coalition. We are inviting funders, legal partners, peer leaders and institutions across Baltimore to help shape scope, governance and priorities before services begin.
