Sweetser was deeply honored to receive recognition at the Maine DHHS Annual Forum for our leadership with Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHC).
Deputy Director Olivia Alford presented our team with the recognition, highlighting the accessibility of our Hope & Healing …Centers (our CCBHC walk-in clinics), including our resource room at our Brunswick center, and the timely opening of our Lewiston center to support the wider community.
As a demonstration site, we are proud to be a leader championing this walk-in care model, which significantly reduces barriers to accessing mental health and recovery treatment.
Thank you to our dedicated CCBHC team—Joanne Grant, Wendy Anders, Joey Rossingnol, and Kristen Cianelli—and every Sweetser staff member at our Brunswick, Sanford, and Lewiston Hope & Healing Centers for making this vital work possible.

Sweetser families were invited to our Saco K-12 school for an open house night. School staff hosted a fall family photo shoot in the library, they gave away free books, and held a successful bake sale to support a local women's shelter.
Huge thanks to Facilities Director Bruce Norton… for helping to cook amazing Thanksgiving meals for everyone. We had some amazing servers! Families also had the opportunity to tour our classrooms and experiential learning program.

Our Family Art Night at our special-purpose K-12 school was a HUGE hit! Big shoutout to Art Teacher Nick Blunier for organizing the fantastic, spooky mirror-designing activity. Families created some stunning wall hangings! 🎨🖌️
Also, a standing ovation for our culinary program—the… lasagna was delicious and plentiful. Everyone left with a full stomach and a masterpiece.
