Working to end abuse in Cumberland and Sagadahoc counties - Maine.
Our Mission: (three-fold)

- To work for and encourage institutional change to assign responsibility for battering to the perpetrators; and
- To change cultural values which perpetuate and support the abuse of women through community education.
