HOPE is coming to Maine families!💛
We have officially broken ground on Maine’s very first Youth Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility (PRTF) in Saco.
This landmark facility turns what was once just a vision into a permanent foundation of support. It ensures that Maine …children with complex psychiatric needs can receive intensive, specialized treatment close to home, surrounded by the communities that love them, rather than being sent to out-of-state facilities. This milestone belongs to the collective will and heart of our incredible community.
We would not be moving forward on this project without Governor Janet Mills. Today is only possible because of her steadfast leadership and for truly having the back of Maine's next generation. We are also deeply grateful to Maine DHHS Commissioner Sara Gagné-Holmes, Assistant Majority Leader Representative Lori K. Gramlich, HHS Committee Co-Chairs Senator Henry Ingwersen & Rep. Michele Meyer, the entire HHS Committee, and countless legislative champions for their tireless dedication to bringing this project across the finish line.
To bring this $7.9 million project to life alongside the state's vital $5.4 million investment, Sweetser launched the Build Hope Capital Campaign to raise the remaining $2.5 million. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, we are proud to report that we have already raised over $500,000 toward our goal! We extend our deepest gratitude to our naming rights sponsor, Maine Community Bank for their incredible $100,000 commitment! Thank you as well to our outstanding corporate partners who stepped forward to build a stronger regional safety net: Unum, Systems Engineering, Central Maine Power, CGI Business Solutions, Saco and Biddeford Savings, Paquin & Carroll Insurance, Clark Insurance, Mascoma Bank, & Strategic Media.
This facility isn't just about wood and concrete; it’s about restoring hope, averting crises, and keeping families together when they need it most. Thank you for investing in our collective future and for proving that when we share the responsibility, we share in the triumph of lives transformed.
