Strong Beginnings

Healthy Acadia works to support healthy development and resilience from birth to adulthood. Our vision is to provide the positive supports and systems necessary for every child to aspire, learn, and grow safely into healthy, resilient and contributing community members. We are engaged in a growing number of community programs and initiatives focused on adolescents’ social-emotional learning and development of coping skills to promote resilience and positive mental health outcomes.
