Support Groups
On-going support groups in Portland and Midcoast Maine are places for women to talk, share information, and support one another in facilitated, confidential settings.
By sharing their stories and realizing that they are not alone, the isolation which many women experience is broken down. Women can then begin to reclaim their personal power and to start their healing process.
Family Crisis Services support groups provide validation, friendship, information and resources for women with concerns about their intimate relationships, such as abusive or violent behavior by a partner.
Support groups are facilitated by Family Crisis Services staff and trained volunteers. Call the hotline at 866.834.4357 for more information (child-care information is available as well).
