WHAT IS A
Core Service Agency?
A Core Service Agency (CSA) is a state-funded agency, as part of local health departments, local county governments, or non-profit organizations, that operates under contract with the State of Maryland’s Behavioral Health Administration (BHA), a division of the Maryland Department of Health (MDH). Core Service Agencies, Local Addictions Authorities, and Local Behavioral Health Authorities are mandated to comply with the Annotated Code of Maryland Health General Article 10-1201 through 1203. Mid Shore Behavioral Health can help you find available mental health services near you and refer you to behavioral health options. From adult mental health and addiction services to youth and adolescent treatment options, Mid Shore Behavioral Health is here to help refer and find behavioral health resources, services, and programs that work for you.

OUR MISSION
Mid Shore Behavioral Health, Inc.’s mission is to continually improve the provision of behavioral health services for residents of Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot Counties through effective coordination of care in collaboration with consumers, their natural support systems, providers, and the community at large.
OUR VISION
A rural behavioral healthcare delivery system that is clinically and culturally competent. This system will ensure access, have a community focus, be cost-effective, and be integrated to serve the community as a whole.
Impact Statement
MSBH acknowledges that behavioral health systems have historically been used as a tool to perpetuate racism. Racism causes trauma. Racial bias within these systems cultivates health disparities and inequities, which can reinforce racial oppression. Through our participation in training, conferences, and events, we have intentionally incorporated the principles of anti-racism into our strategy, to directly address racism in our communities.
Value Statement
Mid Shore Behavioral Health, Inc. is devoted to providing exceptional service to our community with passion and commitment to our core values: Integrity, Inclusive Collaboration, Progressive Leadership, and Advocacy.
