Mission

Credible’s Founder, Matthew M. Dorman, lost his sister as a result of medication non-compliance. Barbara Dorman, sister to Mr. Dorman, was a devoted mother, sister, aunt, and daughter who ironically worked as an office manager at a local behavioral health organization. 

In late 1995, a severely mentally ill individual was discharged from a Maryland psychiatric hospital without any community-based care. On February 12, 1996, this individual had a psychotic break and called a friend to talk. This friend contacted Mr. Doman’s sister, Barbara, knowing she knew the individual through the community. Barbara volunteered to check on him in person. Tragically, her caring, concern and willingness to help others resulted in her murder. The lack of proper follow up from the institution the individual had been discharged from, the lack of qualified community-based care, and the complications arising from a low tech solution overly reliant on paper records resulted in this tragedy.

Following the death of his sister, Mr. Dorman made a vow to ensure other families would not have to suffer the same pain and suffering his family did. This resulted in the founding of Credible Behavioral Health.  For nearly 20 years, Mr. Dorman has combined his determination and focus with an unwavering personal commitment to uphold the Mission of improving the quality of care and lives in behavioral health.
