In 2020, there was an increase in the number of individuals and families affected by the loss of a loved one due to COVID-19, incarceration, gun violence, and opioid overdose.
Let Us Walk with You
The Walk With Me Project is dedicated to providing aftercare support services for individuals and families who have experienced a significant loss (loved one, job, or other extenuating circumstances).
Walk With Me assists individuals with their rehabilitation process, which often differs according to the injury. Our unique approach to developing a comprehensive care plan coupled with viable resources allows the remedy for aiding the individual with "their new normal". This ultimately allows individuals to take small steps until they can "walk on their own."
The Walk With Me Project is offered to residents of all ages in Baltimore City and surrounding counties.

Meet the Founder,
Arnitra Smith
Arnitra has a vast background working with all walks of life and has served in various community service capacities in Baltimore City and the surrounding counties. She has dedicated her life to Human Services after she started her career in Mortuary Science. Some would say Arnitra has been fortunate to have been educated professionally, and the misfortune, lived experience of the death of a best friend due to gun violence, the death of a child, another child that was diagnosed with AML Leukemia, and a bone marrow transplant recipient, and witnessed many close relatives incarcerated and addicted to opioids and alcohol throughout her entire life. She personally experienced the loss of her job and the sting of being hit with multiple traumatic incidents and having no one to lean on and no resources to help pick up the pieces. The one thing that was always missing was the “package of hope and the connection of care.”
