Your Hometown: Family Crisis Services

Posted: Updated:

Our Goal:

Working to end abuse in Cumberland and Sagadahoc counties - Maine.

Our Mission: (three-fold)

  1. To provide programs which focus on individual advocacy and safety for battered women and their children;
  2. To work for and encourage institutional change to assign responsibility for battering to the perpetrators; and
  3. To change cultural values which perpetuate and support the abuse of women through community education. FCS is a domestic violence project which serves victims and survivors in Cumberland and Sagadahoc Counties in Maine.

Founded in 1977, we have expanded our services in these twenty-some years to serve all those battered in intimate partnerships.

We have an emergency shelter for battered women and their children, support groups in Portland, Bath and Bridgton, Outreach programs in Portland, Brunswick and Bridgton, and a transitional services program, as well as an extensive educational program which focuses on the issue of dating violence and youth.

FCS strives to provide safe and accessible services to all victims/survivors of domestic violence regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender, age, primary language spoken, or immigration status.
