This page includes links for region-specific community support resources and statewide resources, and a list of statewide and national hotlines and warmlines. Resources are broken down by a variety of categories to best meet the immediate needs of an individual. These categories include substance use and behavioral health/counseling, food, housing, LGBTQ+, veteran, older adult, youth, intimate partner and sexual violence, and general assistance.

In compiling these resources, every attempt was made to create a comprehensive and accurate guide. Some of these resources are managed by individuals or organizations with small staff with ever-changing availability. Please call individual organizations to get the most up to date hours and information.

These resources and respective resource guides were prepared in partnership with Central Maine Healthcare.
