WMTW-TV: All ticket sales and evening raffle proceeds will support Sweetser's capital campaign to build Maine's first youth Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF).
"This life-changing project requires urgent community support. We are building a home for hope but …we can't do it alone. This project won't happen with the support of the community," said Chenette. "This project represents a multi-generational investment in preventing children from languishing in emergency rooms and in reuniting families separated by thousands of miles. We have an urgent need to close this funding gap to open the facility by late 2026 or early 2027."

The second annual Spring Into Hope: Maine Fashion show is hosted by WMTW, in partnership with Sweetser

✅ Funding Update: Maine’s mental health safety net just got stronger.
The Legislature’s Appropriations Committee voted to approve funding for Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs), which include Sweetser’s Hope & Healing Centers in Brunswick, Sanford, and …Lewiston. This investment protects walk-in, same-day access to mental health care for Mainers of all ages.
Thank you to Rep. Annie Graham for championing LD 721, and to the bill’s co-sponsors: Sen. Marianne Moore, Rep. Holly Stover, Rep. Deqa Dhalac, Rep. Dan Shagoury, Rep. Flavia DeBrito, Rep. Julie McCabe, Rep. Michael Brennan, Rep. Kristen Cloutier, and Rep. Lucien Daigle.
We’re also grateful for the leadership and strong support from Health & Human Services Committee Chairs Rep. Michele Meyer and Sen. Henry Ingwersen, and Appropriations Chairs Rep. Drew Gattine and Sen. Peggy Rotundo.
This strategic, high-return investment will protect what is working, maximize federal dollars, and ensure Maine’s behavioral health safety net is strong enough to meet the rising demand we are seeing across the state.
