Senator Susan Collins recently visited the new “Malone Family Tower” at Maine Medical Center and discussed the importance of mental health services in Maine. During her visit, she stressed the need for mental health resources for Maine’s children, who often end up in hospitals during crisis situations.
As part of her “Funding Maine’s Future” initiative, Collins obtained over $3 million for the Kita Commons Mental Health Facility in Acton, which aims to build a facility to assist youth impacted by suicide. She commended Maine Medical Center for their efforts in creating specialized rooms to stabilize mental health patients, leading to a decrease in workplace violence against healthcare workers.
Collins also mentioned her work in securing funding for Acadia Hospital in Bangor to construct a pediatric wing, further enhancing mental health resources in the state. She emphasized the importance of providing safe and appropriate care in the right setting for children and individuals coping with mental illness to improve overall outcomes.
