Through its programs, Youth Alternatives serves more than 5,000 children, youth and family members throughout Maine each year.

Since 1970, Ingraham has been improving the lives of thousands of individuals. Ingraham provides transitional residence to homeless teens and adults living with mental illness and/or substance abuse issues, offers 24 hour crisis and acute care services to Cumberland County, and delivers comprehensive mental health care through its outpatient mental health and community support programs.
