Our hearts ache for the victims and their families who have been directly impacted by these senseless acts of violence. No words can adequately express the depth of our sorrow, but please know that we stand in solidarity with you.

Please remember that you are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling with the emotional aftermath of this tragedy, please reach out for support.

· For behavioral health crises or thoughts of self-harm, call
the Maine Crisis Line at 988 or toll-free in Maine at (888) 568-1112. If you are local to Kennebec and Somerset counties [1], our Crisis and Counseling Center team will be on the other end of the line after first connecting with a crisis line phone specialist. (24/7 support)

· If you are a parent and need support in speaking with your
children about these events, please contact our trained family peer support specialists here at the GEAR Parent Network [2] toll-free in Maine (800) 264-9224

· For mental health peer-to-peer support call the Intentional
Warmline [3] toll free in Maine (866) 771-9276 (24/7 support for individuals 18+)

· For youth ages 13-23 in need of peer support, text NAMI
Maine's Teen Text Support Line [4] at (207) 515-8398

As we process this collective trauma, it is essential to reach out to one another, check on your neighbors, and offer support to those in need. We encourage open and honest dialogue about your feelings, fears, and hopes for the future. In unity, we can find solace and comfort.

If you are a parent wanting support, or a parent/caregiver of a child with behavioral, emotional, or developmental health needs, please consider joining to meet and compare notes with other parents who truly understand the journey you are on. Note: Keep in mind that if there is no support group participation within 30 minutes of start time the virtual platform will be ended.
