The Office of Aging and Disability Services is excited to announce a virtual training opportunity on Mental Health First Aid, scheduled for September 18, 2023. This training is offered in collaboration with National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Maine and is available for caregivers providing care to Section 19 members. Caregivers can include personal support staff, attendants, home health aides, nurses or other natural and family supports.
The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is excited to announce the creation of a Service Locator Tool hosted on Bamboo Health’s TreatmentConnection.com. The Tool will improve access to treatment for substance use and mental health issues. The goal is to publicly launch this tool in late summer 2023.
The purpose of this rule is to update the General Assistance (GA) Program Manual, Section IV to provide clarity and align this manual with Public Law 2023, Chapter 133. The Department proposes amending Section IV(O), Recovery Residence to clarify that GA payments may be issued to a managing operator of a certified recovery residence.
