About Us

Our Mission

Maine Mental Health Connections offers a variety of social, recreational, residential, vocational, and personal growth opportunities for adults who are consumers of mental health and/or developmental disability services. Our goal is to maintain and/or increase the community integration of individuals and reduce their dependency on the mental health system.
 
The mission of Maine Mental Health Connections is based on the philosophy that the consumers of mental health and/or developmental disability services have the right to choice in determining their independence in the community, and opportunities should be provided for them to have and make choices that will lead to their individualized and group empowerment.
 
Since we started in 1981, we have promoted the role of consumers of mental health and/or developmental disability services in the design and operation of our programs. Over 50% of our Board of Directors are consumers of services. The Board of Directors seeks individuals to take an active role in the agency. Individuals who may be interested in serving on the Board of Directors are asked to contact the Administrative office at 941-2907.
