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. 2018 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: Secure support in order to expand program offerings in Southern Maine, to accommodate the growing number of participants. Goal 4: Lead community response to challenges and emerging needs related to supporting: grieving children and families, refugee and immigrant youth, families facing serious illness, and those affected by the opioid epidemic. Goal 5: Meaningfully recognize the volunteers, donors and business spon- sors who keep the Center's services free for families.
