With Opportunity, Hope and Independence, Everything is Possible
Mental Health Services
OHI Maine's mental health services are built on a simple but profound belief: that with the right support, every person can move forward and live more fully in their community. Serving adults with serious mental illness and co-occurring disorders, OHI offers a wraparound continuum of care — including Skills Development, Residential Treatment, Behavioral Health Home Services, and Community Integration — each individually tailored to build the practical skills and natural supports that make lasting recovery not just possible, but real.
Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities Services
For more than 40 years, OHI Maine has stood beside adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities — not to do things for them, but to help them do things for themselves. OHI provides 24-hour residential services, community supports, and specialized care for adults with Prader-Willi Syndrome, all designed to help people live productively and with dignity. OHI is driven by the simple but powerful conviction that with the right support, everyone can reach their full potential.
Brewer Area Food Pantry
The pantry serves nearly 900 households — and nearly two-thirds of the people it supports are seniors and children, the most vulnerable members of any community. The pantry welcomes anyone experiencing food insecurity who meets federal income guidelines. Registration requires nothing more than a simple piece of mail to confirm an address, removing the red tape that so often stands between people and the help they need. The pantry has even been recognized with the Key to the City from the Mayor of Brewer — a testament to the outsized role it plays in knitting together a community where no one should go to bed hungry.
OHI Academy
OHI Academy offers state-mandated education for employees in the direct support profession, while also opening all courses to the broader community — because the skills that make a great caregiver don't belong to any one organization. From CPR and First Aid to the College of Direct Support curriculum, OHI Academy’s training catalog equips frontline workers with the knowledge and confidence to show up fully for some of Maine's most vulnerable adults. The team continuously updates skills and classroom techniques to ensure every student receives the most current information available. It's professional development with purpose: raising the standard of care, one trained professional at a time.
