COVID-19 Community Resource for the Greater Baltimore Area |
About This List The COVID-19 crisis has isolated individuals with brain injuries, family members, and caregivers. Many services that individuals once depended on have been reduced or ceased indefinitely. During this scary time, BIAMD will continue to provide up-to-date resources for survivors and caregivers to utilize and distribute within their communities.
Below we have provided a list of resources compiled by local social service providers and social workers in conjunction with the Baltimore Harm Reduction Coalition. Many organizations have expanded telehealth or online service options and have expanded emergency services during COVID-19. This is a difficult time for everyone but we all need to come together (while practicing social distancing) to help our friends and neighbors. |
Lakeshore Foundation-NCHPAD is trying to identify what people with disabilities and people with chronic conditions need most during the COVID-19 crisis. Please answer the questions in the survey link to help figure out the best ways to support the community during this time. If you have any additional questions, please send an email to email@nchpad.org. The questions are included to help us understand what is most needed, but if you feel uncomfortable answering a question, you can skip it. All answers are anonymous.
Please note, the survey will be active through Friday, April 17, 2020.
