HELP FOR YOUTH RECOVERING FROM PANDEMIC EFFECTS: The state is entering into a multi-million dollar partnership with several private sector companies to launch a series of initiatives aimed at helping younger people and their families recover from mental health impact of the pandemic, Bryan Renbaum reports for Maryland Reporter. School closures and the cancellation of both sporting and social events have had a detrimental impact, and this has been especially true for youth that live in the state’s most underserved communities.
“Project Bounce Back” will include partnerships with state agencies and Boys and Girls Clubs of America, Microsoft, LinkedIn Learning, KPMG, Discourse Analytics and eCare vault, Rachel Baye reports for WYPR.

With an increase in impaired drivers expected on Wednesday and the next few days for Cinco de Mayo, Maryland State Police are urging those who plan to celebrate with alcohol to be safe and avoid impaired and distracted driving.
To address this concern, troopers will be conducting saturation patrols at each of the 23 barracks focusing on impaired, aggressive, and distracted driving. Enforcement efforts are bolstered in part by impaired driving saturation patrol grants from the Maryland Department of Transportation’s Motor Vehicle Administration’s Highway Safety Office.
Initiatives include saturation patrols in areas known to have a higher number of DUI crashes or arrests. Additional troopers will be assigned as needed. Every year more than 160 lives are lost and thousands of more people are injured in Maryland crashes involving impaired drivers, according to the Maryland Department of Transportation.
