Our Mission 

The mission of AMHC Sexual Assault Services is to promote healing and justice to all who are affected by sexual violence through advocacy, education, and prevention.
AMHC Sexual Assault Services has provided services to individuals who are affected by sexual violence since 1984. Our advocates and educators serve Maine's Aroostook, Hancock, and Washington Counties. ​
I’ve always been passionate about helping people, whether it’s through education or advocacy. I can be a resource by giving people a voice if they can’t speak for themselves or helping them ​figure out their options.

Our Efforts 

AMHC Sexual Assault Services' work in Northern and Downeast Maine includes:
  • Advocacy for survivors of sexual violence, their families, and friends, including a 24-hour crisis and support line, support groups, crisis intervention and information, and help finding other community resources.
  • Support for survivors 24 hours a day. Advocates can go with survivors to the hospital or doctor's office, to the police, or to court. It doesn't matter when the violence happened. Advocates are also there to help families and friends.
  • Community awareness-building and prevention education for all ages and audiences on a range of topics, including sexual violence prevention, sexual violence, sexual harassment, internet safety, and personal body safety.
You have a right to file a grievance if you feel that staff did not provide competent, affirming advocacy services. Click here for information on our grievance process.
