Studies show that feeling valued as a child is one of the best predictors of health and wellness as an
adult. Our team of experts provide trauma-informed, equity-centered professional development,
comprehensive programs, and resources to youth-serving professionals, healthcare providers, educa-
tors, caregivers and community members. Through these grassroots efforts we have built the Maine
Mattering Movement to inspire and equip communities to ensure every young person feels seen,
heard, and valued. Together, we're creating a state where all youth can flourish. Join us.
