The Mental Health Assessment Team (formerly known as MATCH-Making All The Children Healthy) provides mental health assessments and recommendations for children entering the child welfare system in Baltimore City.

The Baltimore City Child and Adolescent Response System (BCARS) provides comprehensive community-based services for children in mental health crisis.
