PORTLAND The John T. Gorman Foundation has awarded 11 grants totaling $250,000 to help Maine organizations throughout the state increase mental health, wellness, and community support opportunities for older youth during the pandemic.
The funding comes in response to rising concerns about the well-being of young adults, who are suffering from the mental health effects of the prolonged pandemic as they are disconnected from school and other social supports.
