✅LD 858 – To stabilize and fund school-based therapy on school campuses for families.
Please email Appropriations Committee members to stress getting these bills across the finish line to address the youth mental health crisis we are currently experiencing:

Rep. Lori Gramlich’s LD 1426 will expand mental health treatment options for children and families in underserved areas of Lewiston and Bangor with new Child ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) teams. Currently, Sweetser operates the only one in the entire state in Saco. More communities deserve this type of 24/7 team & community-based support. The legislature passed this bill in committee, in the House, and in the Senate, now we just need the funding approved.
