About Illuminated Directions

Illuminated Direction is a mental and behavioral health provider in Baltimore, Maryland, offering wraparound support for adults, adolescents, and children. Their work centers on helping people gain more control over their lives through skill building in the community and office-based services that emphasize self-advocacy and personal responsibility. They aim to reduce hospitalization, recidivism, out-of-home placement, truancy, and homelessness. Care begins with an assessment by a clinical specialist, followed by an individual recovery plan built together with the client and then put into action.

In Maryland, their main offering is a Psychiatric Rehabilitation Program (PRP) that helps participants strengthen independent living skills, either at a program site or out in the community at home, work, or other settings. For adults, the program targets anger management, hygiene, time management, organization and planning, nutrition, and following medical treatment, while young people work on anger management, peer relationships, health and wellness, goal setting, and school improvement. Across their other locations, the organization also provides outpatient therapy, crisis response, psychiatric care, peer support, targeted case management, day treatment for youth, mental health skill building, and intensive in-home services for families at risk of out-of-home placement. They are accredited by The Joint Commission.
