This Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, we are highlighting the power of community. Remember, it's okay to have someone hold onto hope until you're ready to take it back.

You don't have to carry everything on your own – lean on community, lean on friends and family, and lean on us. No matter how dark or hopeless things feel, it's possible to get better.💙

A Provider’s View on Geriatric Mental Health🌟

Laura Lambert, LCSW-C, is a clinical social worker and the Clinic Director at Columbia Mental Health’s Bowie, MD office. With more than 15 years of experience across inpatient and outpatient settings, she brings deep knowledge—and deep compassion—to her work with older adults. Geriatric mental health, she says, is not only her clinical focus but her calling.

In this spotlight, Laura shares what she wishes more people knew about aging and mental health: what it looks like, what gets overlooked, and how Columbia Mental Health helps older adults thrive.

Many people struggling with mental health believe they’ll never get better. We’re here to tell you that doesn't have to be true.

💡There is hope. Healing is possible.

We offer innovative treatments like TMS and Spravato®, which can provide relief for those who haven’t found success with traditional options. For individuals who’ve tried medication after medication, spent years in therapy, or participated in clinical trials without results—there are still options.

Interventional treatments like TMS and Spravato® have proven success rates. We are proud to offer these services in our clinics, providing every opportunity for the road to recovery.🙌💙

Su***de affects more people than we may realize. According to the CDC, in 2022, an estimated 12.8 million adults seriously thought about su***de, 3.7 million planned a su***de attempt, and 1.5 million attempted su***de.

Depression, suicidal thoughts, and addiction deceive us and lie to us, but your life has value and you are never alone. Healing is always possible—no matter how messy it may look.🌱💪

We are proud to have such impactful providers on our team, like Dr. Mary Harris. We thank her for sharing her story and being a constant source of inspiration and light in our organization.💙

April is National Counseling Awareness Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the incredible work counselors do across the nation. In honor of this month our Chief Operating Officer Maggie Tapp, who is also a mental health clinician, has recorded a video to recognize the importance of counseling professionals. We invite you all to watch and share while taking a moment to celebrate the powerful impact counseling has in our lives.

These professionals dedicate their lives to supporting, uplifting, and empowering individuals, families, and communities through some of their most challenging times.
