About the Maryland Foundation for Psychiatry, Inc.
The Foundation is organized for educational and charitable purposes:
- to increase public awareness of the signs of psychiatric illness, the availability and methods of treatment, and sources of assistance for the mentally ill;
- to enhance the quality of assistance to the psychiatric patient, particularly by improving access to care, improving conditions in hospitals, mental health care and other facilities, and changing perceptions of mental illness;
- to support research to improve care for the psychiatric patient;
- to remove any stigma of mental illness which may inhibit or prevent proper care through educational and public service activities; and
- to serve as a clearinghouse for information about all aspects of psychiatry and as a bridge between psychiatric medicine and the general public.
