Avenues Recovery, an addiction rehab in Maryland, would like to share that United We Care (UWC) has announced a new partnership with the Maryland Rural Health Association (MRHA) aimed at addressing the critical mental health challenges facing rural communities across Maryland. This collaboration focuses on changing perceptions about mental health, reducing stigma, and improving access to essential support for individuals who may feel isolated or underserved.

The News Channel 6 news site noted that mental health remains a sensitive topic in many rural areas, where societal stigma often discourages individuals from seeking help. As a result, many struggle silently with anxiety, depression, and addiction, compounded by the limited access to care that characterizes these regions. Rural communities frequently lack the resources and professionals necessary to provide timely and effective mental health services.

United We Care is dedicated to breaking down these barriers by making mental health care more accessible, empathetic, and inclusive. Utilizing innovative technology combined with a personal touch, UWC offers virtual therapy, AI-driven support, and expert-guided programs, allowing individuals to access care from the comfort of their own homes. Through the partnership with MRHA, UWC aims to shift the conversation around mental health, empowering rural communities to embrace support without fear of stigma or judgment.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Maryland Rural Health Association and leverage innovative solutions to make mental health care more accessible, creating lasting change in rural Maryland,” said Ritu Mehrotra, Founder and CEO of United We Care.

The Maryland Rural Health Association plays a vital role in this initiative, bringing local expertise and community connections to reach a broader audience. With a strong commitment to advocating for rural healthcare, MRHA understands the unique challenges these communities face and is well-equipped to promote awareness and encourage individuals to prioritize their mental well-being.

“The Maryland Rural Health Association is excited about this partnership and the opportunity to improve the lives and well-being of rural Marylanders in desperate need of care and services,” stated Jonathan Dayton, Executive Director of MRHA.

This partnership represents a significant step forward in addressing the mental health crisis in rural Maryland, aiming to create a more supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to seek the help they need. By combining resources and expertise, United We Care and the Maryland Rural Health Association are committed to making a lasting impact on the mental health landscape in these underserved communities.
