ABOUT EPISODE 0011 Institutionalization in Maine PART TWO: Lived Experience, Reform, and the Future of Mental Health Care

In this second episode of a two-part series, our conversations continue to dive into the lived realities of a system that has shaped, and too often harmed, the people it was meant to serve. Simonne Maline, Judge Dan Wathen, and Vickie McCarty bring decades of experience working within the mental health system and the courts to share what they’ve seen, what’s changed, and what still needs to.

Interviews Recorded: January & March 2026
