Following our incredible groundbreaking ceremony, we are filled with immense gratitude for the dedicated corporate partners who have stepped forward to make Sweetser’s new Youth Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) a reality!
An achievement of this scale is never the work of… a single organization; it is the visible result of a shared societal responsibility. By investing in this $7.9 million project, these corporate leaders have acknowledged a vital truth: that the health of our economy and the strength of our local businesses are deeply linked to the emotional and psychological well-being of our community's children and families.
We are proud to report that through our Build Hope Capital Campaign, we have already raised over $500,000 toward our $2.5 million community funding goal!
Please join us in recognizing and thanking these amazing partners in hope, who are helping us build a safer, more resilient regional safety net:
🤝 Our Naming Rights Sponsor: A massive thank you to Maine Community Bank for their incredible $100,000 commitment to this facility!
💙 Our Dedicated Corporate Partners (so far):
Systems Engineering
Central Maine Power
CGI Business Solutions
Saco and Biddeford Savings
Paquin & Carroll Insurance
Unum
Clark Insurance
Mascoma Bank
Strategic Media
Because of your corporate citizenship, countless Maine families will soon look to this facility as a sanctuary of hope and behavioral health support. Thank you for investing in our collective future and leaving a multi-generational legacy!

A structure built for healing. A future shaped by people who refuse to give up on Maine's kids.
Construction on Maine's first and only youth psychiatric residential treatment facility, a place designed for healing, was made possible by the collective will of an extraordinary …coalition of leaders.
None of this happens without @governorjanetmills and her inclusion of this project in her supplemental budget. Her steadfast leadership has brought us to this day, and her commitment to Maine's next generation is why we're standing here, breaking ground.
We're grateful to DHHS Commissioner Sara Gagné-Holmes and her team at the Office of Behavioral Health, who have been with us every step of the way, bringing guidance, assistance, and a contagious heart for this work.
Our deepest thanks to Assistant Majority Leader @lorigramlich, a lifelong champion for behavioral health whose legacy is written into so many of Maine's advances in this field. And to HHS Committee Co-Chairs Sen. @henry4senate and Rep. @michelemeyer_mainehouse, whose bipartisan leadership secured one unanimous vote after another and rallied colleagues to carry this across the finish line.
Shout-out to other legislative champions joining us for this groundbreaking event and supporting this project, including @senatordonnabailey, Senator Timothy Nagle, Rep. Graham, Rep. @fmdebrito, and Rep. @copelandforsaco.
Make A Difference!
Sweetser is grateful for our sponsors!
