Get Help

We are parents helping each other. We offer unconditional support – no blame, no shame and no judgment.

We know that children with behavioral and emotional disabilities are often misunderstood and may:

have difficulties building relationships in their communities
act out at home
have difficulty meeting educational requirements at school
start misusing substances
sometimes end up in the criminal justice system.

We provide critical support to parents/caregivers and families who may otherwise be isolated and overwhelmed dealing with these issues. We empower parents and families by offering parent-to-parent support, advocacy, education and meaningful participation in all aspects of the services children and families receive.

We pride ourselves in being leaders in the State of Maine in developing family voice by helping to ensure that parents and families are involved in the planning and delivery of behavioral health services for children.

We want you to know that you are not alone. If you need support now, call our team at 800-264-9224
