Villa Maria Continuum

Villa Maria Continuum is one of the leading providers of behavioral health and special education services in Maryland.  We have a long and distinguished history of providing services to families and children with special needs. Today, Villa Maria Continuum operates 26 programs in Baltimore City and ten counties that include residential care, special education, outpatient services, crisis intervention, and family support services.

At Villa Maria, we partner with consumers, advocates, agencies and the local government to operate a wide array of innovative services and programs of varying intensities tailored to the needs of the children and families we serve. Our values of respect, partnership, compassion, diversity and excellence and how we apply them to the work we do each day are what distinguish us from other organizations. They have allowed us to become a leader in the field of mental health and special education.

Villa Maria is committed to a full partnership with consumers (for more information, visit our Family Provider Partnership page). We depend heavily on the input from the children, families, and adults to help make our programs the best in the state of Mary­land. We are guided by our mission to provide services through caring, compassionate relation­ships that honor the worth and dignity of each individual and family.  If you or a family member have a safety concern, a suggestion or are dissatisfied at any time during your affiliation with the programs of Villa Maria, please take a moment to let us know by speaking up.
