"No one should be turned away. Every Maine family, every child, every individual deserves access to mental health care," said Chenette. "The last thing families should have to think about when it comes to addressing their own mental health challenges or the mental health needs of …their children, is the cost of care being a barrier. The focus should be on healing and recovery. Events like this make what we do possible."
All money raised through the event in May will support Sweetser’s mission to benefit mental health treatment for children and families in need.

Housing a full-service pharmacy at our mental health & recovery clinic in Brunswick will reduce barriers for our clients, strengthen the coordination between our team and the pharmacist regarding treatment medication, and improve outcomes for overall wellness.
IT’S OFFICIAL! We are excited to open a full-service pharmacy built right into the entrance of our Brunswick Hope & Healing Center. We held a ribbon cutting with our friends at the Bath-Brunswick Regional Chamber. Housing a pharmacy with our partner Genoa Healthcare at our mental health &… recovery clinic will reduce barriers for our clients and strengthen the coordination between our team and the pharmacist both for treatment medication, but also overall wellbeing. This type of partnership in other states has yielded to 90% medication adherence rates, 40% fewer hospitalizations, and 18% fewer ER visits. Our pharmacy is located at our Hope & Healing Center at 329 Bath Road in Brunswick and our hours are: 8:30am to 5pm, Monday – Friday; Closed for lunch 12:30pm – 1pm.

Sweetser President & CEO Jayne Van Bramer met with members of the South Berwick-Eliot Rotary to share updates on Sweetser’s programs in York County, including the impactful work being done at Sanford’s Hope & Healing Center.
During her remarks, Jayne highlighted the importance …of Sweetser’s newly established Child ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) program. This initiative supports children who have not responded to traditional treatment approaches and are at heightened risk of requiring inpatient, crisis, or residential care. The program aims to provide intensive, wraparound support to help these youth stabilize and thrive within their communities.

Thank you to all who came out to support 988 awareness night @marinersofmaine. It was wonderful seeing the familiar faces and coming together as a team to spread awareness about crisis support services in our community. Staff from the communications office enjoyed handing out crisis and peer …support resources to hockey fans, and chatting with attendees about their personal journeys with mental health.
Make A Difference!
Sweetser is grateful for our sponsors!
