Advocacy

Mother-DaughterAre you trying to navigate the welfare or housing system?  Feeling confused by all of the social services out there? We can help.

We know that it’s hard to figure out what questions to ask or what’s expected of you, and that it can seem overwhelming when you’re facing a stack of forms that need to be filled out.

That’s why our advocates—Partners for Peace helpline workers who understand both domestic abuse and how the many systems work—are available to offer support and information about the legal and social service systems, TANF/ASPIRE, Child Protective Services, and many others.

The first step?  Call our helpline at 1.800.863.9909 and tell us what you need. We can then make an appointment to meet with you at our offices in Bangor or Dover-Foxcroft, or in Lincoln, Millinocket, Newport, Indian Island, Dexter, Milo, or Greenville.

If our helpline is busy, please call our administrative office at 207.945.5102.

We’re here to help.
