Survey shows increase in Maine students feeling hopeless

The youth mental health crisis, how it s affecting Maine s young people, and what can be done to help

For students who need help, there are resources — if they know where to find them

This is the third of a four-part special report.  PITTSTON Tara Sabattis has seen the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on her teenagers and their friends first hand. She has home-schooled her 15-year-old daughter and 14-year-old granddaughter for about three years for health reasons. Though home-schooled, both are students in Maine School Administrative District 11, and pre-pandemic they volunteered at the local animal shelter, played basketball at the YMCA and saw friends. Now they can’t do any of those activities. “I think most parents aren’t spending the day with their children, and not noticing or recognizing the emotions and the trauma that it’s putting the kids through,” Sabattis said. “If they had to be at home every day, they’d see. I’m home so I can.”
