Sweetser has re-opened its Child Crisis Stabilization Unit in Saco after designing a truly therapeutic, trauma-informed environment for our clients. This reset allowed us to use an available building on our campus and set up the space in a way conducive to providing children with the care they require. This includes designated spaces for group therapy and using therapeutic colors throughout the unit. Staff have also received additional training to ensure we provide the most therapeutic care possible. Referrals for this program come through via the statewide crisis line.
Sweetser’s Chief Program Officer, Kristie Worster, discusses how families can access our children’s crisis stabilization units on WMTW Channel 8’s Mental Health Moment segment.
