Health & Wellness Resources

With a vision that every citizen of Anne Arundel County should live in a safe community in a quality home that they can afford, be financially secure and adequately nourished, have the job skills needed to succeed in the workplace, be part of a well-functioning family unit, have equal opportunity, have access to comprehensive physical and behavioral health services, and live a long, healthy and fulfilled life the Partnership for Children, Youth & Families under the direction of Dr. Pamela Brown works to assess community human services needs and identify gaps in services.

The Anne Arundel County Systems of Care is a multi-tiered approach to providing individualized information and support to connect children, youth, and their families to appropriate resources in the community.

Family Stability: The Partnership, in collaboration with ACDS, United Way of Central Maryland, and other vital partners, provides case management and further assistance to families who are homeless or are at risk of homelessness. 

HIP HOP Youth Homelessness Program: Housing In Place, Home Our Priority (HIP HOP) is a unique rapid rehousing program for unaccompanied homeless youth aged 18 to 24, particularly those in the Northern part of our County. 

Community Conferencing: Community Conferencing is a restorative justice practice designed to divert first-time non-violent offenders from the juvenile justice system and reduce school suspension and expulsion rates. 

Youth Mentoring: In collaboration with the Anne Arundel County Mental Health Agency, the Partnership offers one-on-one mentoring for youth with a mental health diagnosis between the ages of 11 and 21. 

Communities of Hope (“COH”) : A place-based model designed by Casey Family Programs to engage the local community and bring more wrap-around services and requested support to families living in high-need communities in an effort to reduce poverty and the number of children in out-of-home placements. 

The YWCA of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County (YWCA) was established in 1920 in response to the needs of women converging on the State Capital. Major priorities included voting rights, labor rights, housing, and other areas focused on equality. The mission, both locally and nationally, is to eliminate racism, empower women, and promote peace, justice, freedom, and dignity for all.

The YWCA of Annapolis & Anne Arundel County, while affiliated with the YWCA USA, is an independent 501c3 organization. The YWCA establishes the work priorities locally, maintaining four (4) primary program areas including residential, counseling, legal, and education. Currently, with fifty (50) team members, the YWCA is supporting almost 10,000 Anne Arundel County residents annually who have been affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, teen dating violence and/or stalking.

The YWCA maintains five (5) service sites including the main administrative office in Arnold, the Weinberg Residence (domestic violence safe house, capacity 32), the Education & Wellness Center, Glen Burnie District Court, and Annapolis District Court. It is anticipated that the YWCA will be expanding to add a residential program/facility for trafficked youth in 2023.

YWCA has buildings all over the US, and several locations in MD aside from Annapolis.
