Mainers Demand Mental Health Relief During President Biden's Visit
Maine's behavioral health community is urging President Joe Biden to provide federal assistance to boost mental health services and crisis response in the aftermath of the state's worst mass shooting. They are calling for increased mobile crisis capacity, more counselors in schools, faster access to mental health providers, and incentives to address the shortage of mental health professionals. Currently, Mainers seeking help may have to wait months to be seen by a mental health professional.
