Meeting the Moment
Healing for Students, Hope for our Community
The Meeting the Moment project, supported by the Maryland Community Health Resources Commission Consortium on Coordinated Community Supports focuses on increasing behavioral health services in schools. During the 2025 - 2026 school year, the ACM Resilience Institute served over 600 students with in-school and after-school programming. We continue to serve Allegany County students and families in Mind-Body Skills groups during the 2026 - 2027 school year.
