Maine’s behavioral health community, including Sweetser, came together at the State House to call for funding the Maine Resiliency Package that includes several key mental health priorities. The time for urgent action is now.
Priorities include:
• Expand access to services through workforce investments
• Enhance mobile crisis response
• Expand number of crisis receiving centers (as mentioned in the Governor’s State of the State)
• Fill in the gaps of mental health care continuum for special populations
• Support best practice models of care
• Fund evidence-based practices and preventative supports for youth, like our LD 2002 on school-based therapy
