Non-Clinical Services
Getting together with others who share common interests or challenges can be empowering. Giving voice to common concerns and advocating for understanding and change is possible with the power of many. Collective thinking and networking takes us out of our isolation and helps us realize we have much to offer and that our own experiences can be a valuable resource to others.
Crisis & Counseling Centers provides individuals with a couple of ways to work with others on common concerns - to improve the quality of their own lives and to improve the service systems in the state and on local levels:
- Executive Director's Community Advisory Committee provides regular feedback and input on what our services should be like - what is needed and what is on track. If you would like to be considered for participation in the group, or to learn more, call 207-626-3448.
- For the past ten years, Crisis & Counseling Centers has been home to the GEAR Parent Support Network, a statewide parent-to-parent network for families of children with behavioral health needs. If you are a parent of a child with special needs and you live in the state of Maine, GEAR's parent support groups, trainings and networking opportunities are available to you, free of charge. For more information, go to our page about GEAR, or call GEAR's toll free number, 1-800-264-9224.
