Maryland Department of Health partners with Baltimore Ravens for new campaign addressing addiction [VIDEO]
BALTIMORE, MD—The Maryland Department of Health this week announced the recent launch of a new ad campaign featuring Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews to increase public awareness about addiction, reduce stigma and provide information on how Marylanders can seek help.
In recognition of this campaign, Governor Wes Moore issued a citation (PDF) honoring the Baltimore Ravens and their partnership with the Maryland Department of Health on behavioral health messaging.
“Marylanders are losing their lives to addiction and overdoses,” said Deputy Secretary for Behavioral Health Alyssa Lord. “In addition to directly reaching out to the people who are struggling, this campaign will also reach their families, their loved ones, and their communities. This will further reduce stigma by normalizing conversations about drugs and substance use disorders and connecting everyone to available resources and support.”
The campaign aims to raise awareness among Marylanders that addiction is a medical condition and that those struggling with addiction are not alone. Maryland residents can find more information and seek help by calling or texting 988 or by visiting https://StopOverdose.maryland.gov. The campaign will run until October 27.
“We will always embrace meaningful opportunities that help improve Maryland communities through awareness, education and advocacy,” said Ravens Chief Sales Officer Kevin Rochlitz. “This vitally important campaign addresses a serious issue affecting the health and well-being of many people every day. We salute the Maryland Department of Health for its continued commitment to saving lives and driving positive change.”
In the 12 months ending in June, there were 2,030 fatal overdoses in Maryland, according to the Department’s new Overdose Data Dashboard. Based on initial data, fatal overdoses in Maryland have been on the decline in recent years.
The Maryland State Ad Agency, a division of Maryland Public Television, helped develop the campaign. Their previous Baltimore Ravens and 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline campaign earned an Impact Communications Award Honorable Mention in the Mental Health category.

Former Maryland star blasts Mike Locksley, New York Jets for interview
Former Maryland star quarterback Boomer Esiason hasn’t been shy to voice his opinions if he believes he’s right — especially about his alma mater. He starred at Maryland from 1979-83 and set 17 school records. He knows a thing or two about having success in college and Esiason isn’t having it that Mike Locksley interviewed for the New York Jets’ head coaching job.
On his morning show, he slammed the Maryland head coach. Esiason believes the Jets interviewed Locksley as a favor to his agent and the Jets likely don’t have any interest in Locksley as their head coach.
“I think one of the reasons Mike Locksley, the head coach at the University of Maryland, got an interview was because that was a favor for the agent. And probably a little bit of a favor for Mike to show the University of Maryland that Mike, you know, could leave at any time. And I’m sure Mike’s feeling a lot of pressure because it hasn’t gone well for the University of Maryland football team over the last three to four years now,” Esiason said on Boomer and Gio, his show on New York sports radio station WFAN.
Locksley has gone 33-41 as the head man at Maryland and the Terrapins are coming off of a 4-8 season. While Locksley hasn’t done a bad job with Maryland, it’s never going to be easy to compete in the Big Ten against Michigan, Ohio State, or Oregon. The NIL era is upon us and those colleges are going to do a better job recruiting year-in and year-out.
“I don’t suspect that it’s going to get any better. He can recruit as much as he wants, but his team becomes a development ground for Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, LSU, teams that have a lot more money, although supposedly they’ll have the same amount of money and be able to share it with their athletes moving forward because of that lawsuit that finally came to an end.”
