Cornerstones of Maine

Cornerstones of Maine is a clinically-driven transitional living program located in Portland and Biddeford, Maine. Our program assists 18 to 28 year old creative & bright determined emerging young adults who are struggling to live and function independently. Our clients have a history of mood or anxiety disorders, executive functioning issues, social skill deficits, and academic challenges. Our program provides a therapeutic & experiential approach that gives structure and support based on each client’s individual needs. We provide all gender accommodations that are LGBTQ+ affirming and our average length of stay is 9 to 12 months.

We follow a dual therapist model and each client has weekly individual and group therapy sessions as well as monthly family therapy sessions. Each client is provided 1:1 support from a Life Skills & Academic Success Coach, who works directly with their primary and secondary therapist. Our individualized program includes professional development, academic reengagement, and real world immersion. We have a 2:1 client to staff ratio in-home daily with an immersive therapeutic milieu. These experiences, along with enrichment opportunities, promote emotional growth, personal value, and life purpose.

Cover My Mental Health NFP

Cover My Mental Health provides actionable tools toward overcoming insurance obstacles to mental health and substance use (MH/SUD) care. Our resources include template letters, talking point scripts, worksheets, and action plans.

These downloadable letter templates provide concrete initial steps and encouragement that an insurer’s obstacles or denials are not the last word on an individual’s access to care, such as:
• Denials for “not medically necessary”
• No in-network provider available
• Denials of telehealth care

Guidance for further escalation is also provided, such as insurance company complaints, state and federal support resources, regulatory complaints, appeal filings and litigation.
