At the groundbreaking for Sweetser’s youth Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility, Governor Janet Mills shared the deeply personal story of her brother David, who lived with schizophrenia, and reflected on the difference timely intervention and support can make in a young person’s life.

Her message came from the heart: Families should not have to rely on an emergency room or send their child out of state to access intensive behavioral health care. When young people need a higher level of support, compassionate treatment should be available here in Maine, close to the people who love them.

We are deeply grateful to Governor Mills and the Maine Legislature for including $5.4 million in capital construction support in the state budget to help make this facility a reality. Their investment is helping Sweetser create 16 new treatment beds and fill a critical gap in Maine’s continuum of care for children and families.
