On February 10th, Kathryn Young and Angela Payne from our NAMI Southern, Maryland team joined other advocates from across the NAMI Maryland affiliates in Annapolis.
One of the bills we focused on was Fail First SB490/HB808.
This bill would eliminate fail first protocols for those on Medicaid if the medication is used to treat bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depressions, post-traumatic stress disorder, or
movement disorders associated with the treatment of serious mental illness.
You can read the bill here

If passed, it will take affect on (warm) July 1, 2026

“A voice gave me hope. Today, I’m that voice.”

Nadia understands what it’s like to feel invisible. That’s why she volunteers on the NAMI HelpLine—so others don’t have to feel alone.

Volunteering isn’t just giving back. It’s helping move mental health forward.

Be the voice someone needs.

Repeat after us: take a mental health day.

Take it when you're overwhelmed. Take it before you burn out. Take it because your mental health is reason enough.
