Mental health challenges don’t take a holiday—and neither does receiving help.

Mental health challenges don’t take a holiday—and neither does receiving help.
Joanne Grant, Sweetser’s Chief Growth Officer, stopped by WMTW Channel 8 to highlight the resources available to Mainers who need support during this time of year, reminding us all that hope is always …within reach, no matter the date on the calendar.
We hosted @ronnieparrillo from @wmtwtv at our Saco location today for a timely conversation about mental health.
Our own Dr. Marc Kaplan sat down with Ronnie to discuss navigating the holiday season—a time that brings many joy, but can also be incredibly challenging for those …experiencing grief, loss, or loneliness.
At Sweetser, we believe that shedding light on these struggles is the first step toward healing. No one should have to navigate their mental health journey alone, especially during the holidays.
A huge thank you to Ronnie for helping us share these important resources with our wider community, including the 988 crisis line. Look out for the full story on WMTW later this week.

"We have to have some grace with ourselves. We get focused on traditions and we have a lot going on," said Kristie Worster, Sweetser's chief program officer. "This year, I'm very excited about the holidays. But some years, I can be a little grinchy, and so I may have to …forgo or modify a tradition and then give it my all the next year."
An American Psychiatric Association poll shows that 41% of adults say they anticipate being more stressed this holiday season than they were last…
