We serve more than 4,000 grieving children, teens, families and adults in Southern Maine annually through free peer support, outreach and education. SERVICE LOCATION(S) Peer support groups are available weekly in Portland and Sanford, with Center training, education and crisis response available to schools, workplaces and other organizations throughout Southern Maine. 2017 GOALS Our vision is that all children and families in Southern Maine will have access to grief support free of charge for as long as necessary. We want every person in Southern Maine to know about the Center's services so that no child has to grieve alone. Goal 1: Provide and maintain high- quality, direct-service grief-support pro- grams for children and their families. Goal 2: Support schools, workplaces and agencies through crisis response services and by providing grief-related education and training. Goal 3: Complete a needs assessment and plan for expansion for direct ser- vice in York County, which the Center has offered successfully since 2011. Goal 4: Increase training to support the loss and grief needs of elementary, middle and high school students who have resettled locally from war-torn countries. Goal 5: Meaningfully recognize the volunteers, donors and business spon- sors who make possible the Center's free service to families.
