Portland Press Herald features Pine Tree Society

sbonnevie on February 6, 2020

Pine Tree Society’s expansion of children’s case management to the Midcoast area was featured in the Portland Press Herald on February 6.

“There’s always been an unmet need around case management in the region,” Pine Tree Society’s President & CEO Noel Sullivan said. “We felt we really needed to up our game here, and provide more opportunities for kids to access case management, because that’s the conduit to connect to other things. It educates parents, as well as the child, on services that are available to them.”

Pine Tree Society expands Children’s Case Management to Midcoast

sbonnevie on February 5, 2020

Big news! Pine Tree Society is expanding its Children’s Case Management Services to its Bath office.

“This expansion of our children’s case management program means we are now accepting new referrals with no waitlist in Bath,” said Pine Tree Society’s president and CEO, Noel Sullivan. “We currently offer case management in Scarborough and Auburn and expanding this service to our headquarters office in Bath allows families in the surrounding area to receive much needed assistance without having to wait for an opening.”

Pine Tree Society’s case managers will provide services for families who live within an hour radius of Bath.

“We are flexible about where we meet and accommodate what works best for families based on what the goals are,” said Julie Brennan, director of Pine Tree Society’s case management services. “As case managers, we want to get to know a child in different environments and we do whatever is easiest for the parent. The important thing is that the family gets what they need for help. We often meet at a child’s school or home or at our office.”

To be eligible for Pine Tree Society’s case management services, the child must be 0-21 years of age and be enrolled in Katie Beckett/MaineCare. Private pay is also an option. Instructions for Katie Beckett enrollment and a full list of diagnosis are available here.

After breakfast, the Q106.5 Egg Riders will continue the tradition of stuffing raw eggs down their snowmobile suits before hopping on the flatbed. Each egg represents a $50 pledge from Q106.5 listeners.

The convoy will leave the pit stop at 11:00 a.m. and continue to Dysart’s on Coldbrook Road in Hermon for the traditional de-egging and benefit luncheon, with an expected arrival time of 11:30 a.m.
