CARIBOU, Maine — AMHC Sexual Assault Services, Rape and Response Services and Sexual Assault Services of Southern Maine have partnered together to create a virtual statewide support group.
“The support group is open to all survivors of sexual violence,” said Julia Miller, AMHC program director of Prevention and Sexual Assault Services. “The pandemic has created new opportunities to partner in virtual meetings. We are pleased we can work with RRS and SARSSM to offer this.”
“We all have a role to play in the prevention of sexual assault,” Miller said. “AMHC Sexual Assault Services has provided services to individuals who have been affected by sexual violence since 1984. We not only advocate for victims and offer support to survivors 24/7. We provide prevention education for all ages on sexual violence, sexual harassment, internet safety, and personal body safety.”
