Today we pause to remember the 18 lives lost two years ago and to honor the many individuals, families, and first responders whose lives were forever changed. Healing is not linear, and so many in our community continue to carry the weight of that night in ways seen and unseen.

As an agency, we stand alongside those who are still processing, grieving, and finding their way forward. Sharing our stories and holding space for one another are powerful steps toward healing.

“Telling the story is important; without stories, memory becomes frozen; and without memory you cannot imagine how things can be different.”
- Bessel van der Kolk

Due to the current government shutdown, November's federal SNAP benefits cannot be issued until the shutdown ends.

At this time, SNAP benefits already loaded onto EBT cards remain available for use to purchase food.

For help finding information on other available resources, call 211 or text your ZIP code to 898-211. You can also visit 211Maine.org to find resources near you.

Please feel free to talk with your clinician for additional ideas! We want to support you through this difficult time! 💙

Happy 5-Year Anniversary to Tom- one of the OGs of Avalon! 🙌🏼

From day one, Tom has brought a level of energy that’s impossible to ignore! Call it passion, call it drive, but whatever it is, it’s 100% real. He’s one of those people that show up as his authentic self every single day. No fluff, no BS, just a straight shooter who tells it like it is (and yeah, maybe a few colorful words thrown in for good measure).

We’re lucky to have him. Avalon wouldn’t be the same without his energy, honesty and his relentless commitment to doing things right!

Thank you, Tom, here’s to many more years together! 👏🏼

🎉 This month we celebrate Kendra’s first anniversary at Avalon! 🎉

From day one, Kendra has brought such fresh, spunky energy to our team…the kind that instantly lifts the whole room. She’s got those “little sister vibes” we all adore, but don’t be fooled- she’s wise beyond her years and incredibly talented at what she does.

Kendra, you’re such a bright part of Avalon, and we can’t imagine the place without your hustle, heart, and positivity. 💛 Here’s to many more years of growing, thriving, and laughing together!

🎉 Happy 4-year Anniversary, Denise! 🎉

Denise has been with us for four amazing years, and we couldn’t imagine the office without her (it would be WAY too quiet 😉)! She is one of the most dedicated and hardworking people you’ll ever meet- she is always giving her all to her clients and coworkers alike. She has a gift in her ability to connect - and her authenticity is the key to that!
Thank you, Denise, for all of your energy, never ending laughs, and hard work! Here’s to many more years together! 💙
