Hundreds of children in Maine are waiting for mental health care, but Sweetser’s amazing Child ACT team is stepping up. As the state’s only community-based youth ACT program, we provide 24/7 home and school support to keep kids out of the ER and on the path to recovery. The best news? New state funding is officially secured to launch a second team next year in an underserved part of the state! Sweetser hopes to be that provider to launch that second team.
