"We have a whole range of services that are available to people, medication management, therapy, peer support, care coordination, case management," Sweetser President Jayne Van Bramer said.
Those services continue to grow in need, she said, while barriers remain for people tryingRead more to get help.
"There's long waitlists, no way for some people to get to help, there's stigma, or they don't even know who to call," Van Bramer said.
Through initiatives including their walk-in mental health clinics and participation in community events like the Out of the Darkness Walk, Sweetser hopes to help break down those barriers.
"The more we're willing to talk about it, the more we're willing to be open about it, the more it makes it comfortable for people to reach out," Van Bramer said.
The annual Greater Portland Out of the Darkness Walk aims to bring Mainers together for suicide prevention. Learn more about its messaging and impact.
