Highly Engaged Employees

CQT is a program of Mental Health Association of Maryland (MHAMD), a private, non-profit organization providing education, outreach and advocacy on behalf of individuals with mental illnesses. While our headquarters is located in Lutherville, CQT teams travel across the state to conduct site visits. CQT is supported by funding from the Behavioral H... ealth Administration of the Department of Mental Health of the State of Maryland and is authorized by BHA to conduct site visits to programs in the public mental health system. CQT is guided by an Advisory Committee, comprised of consumers, family members, providers, researchers, advocates, and administrators many of whom served on the working group that started CQT. All CQT employees receive training on qualitative interviewing, note-taking, and reporting protocols. Many also pursue additional mental health skills trainings, including Mental Health First Aid.Read More
