 A new program that treats children with severe mental illness in a community setting has launched in Maine. Sweetser says it's the only program in the state to offer assertive community treatment for children ages 5 to 20. Jane Van Bramer, president and CEO of Sweetser, says the so-called ACT program connects children to a mobile team of providers that includes clinicians, a case manager, and other support specialists. These are really children who are at risk of needing treatment.
