The Walter P. Carter Center began offering
community mental health services to Baltimore
City residents in 1967. These services now include
inpatient and outpatient care, partial hospitaliza-
tion, and emergency services.

The Center also maintains three units at other
sites that provide treatment for adults, adolescents,
and children: Carruthers Clinic, Marley Street
Clinic, and Cherry Hill Clinic. Psychiatric emer-
gency service is available to area residents twenty-
four hours a day, seven days a week. Consultation
and education services are provided to various
community agencies.

The Mental Retardation Facility at the Carter
Center offers an intensive behavior management
program for clients with special behavior prob-
lems. The program seeks to eliminate the need for
returning developmentally disabled persons to in-
stitutional care. The Facility also provides diagno-
