Our speaker will be Jayne Van Bramer, our President and CEO. See below for a brief bio about Jayne.

Jayne has devoted the entirety of her 30 plus working years to behavioral health. Most recently, she comes to Sweetser from Oklahoma where she led the revitalization of a psychiatric hospital and outpatient service. The majority of her career was spent with the New York State Office of Mental Health, where she led the largest public mental health system in the country as the Senior Associate Commissioner for State Operated Children’s and Adult Services.

Jayne believes recovery is possible for every person with a behavioral health diagnosis and that successful treatment is evidenced based and holistic. She has two master’s degrees—one in psychology, and one in applied research and evaluation. She has lived experience with an immediate family member and is the proud grandmother of four adored grandchildren. She looks forward to leading Sweetser and improving the behavioral health of Mainers through increased access and improved outcomes.

Jayne will likely be accompanied by either myself or at least one other staff member.  

John is the Volunteer Coordinator for the Travis Mills Foundation
