Our Healthcare Connections Card is now available in Spanish, French, Somali, Arabic, and Haitian Creole! We are excited to be updating and translating many of our statewide outreach materials this year.

Healthcare providers are an essential link in the coordinated community response to domestic violence. Identifying and responding to DV in healthcare settings can make a tremendous difference for patients’ physical health, mental health, safety, and quality of life.

Although women are disproportionately impacted by DV, anyone can be a victim regardless of sex/gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, age, income, or level of education.

Victims of domestic violence turn to healthcare providers by the thousands every day seeking treatment for acute injuries, other associated physical and mental health conditions, support, information, and referrals.

The Healthcare Connections Card gives healthcare providers something tangible they can hand to all patients as they talk about any potential abuse that patient is experiencing or has experienced; gives all patients a resource they can share with friends and family who may be experiencing or have experienced abuse and violence; focuses on creating a safe space for disclosure at patient discretion; and clearly identifies Maine-based, local resources for healthcare providers who may encounter a patient who discloses that they are experiencing or have experienced abuse/violence in an intimate relationship.

🎒 A new school year brings new routines. It can also be an important opportunity to think ahead about safety. Here are 5 back-to-school safety planning tips to keep in mind—for yourself, your children, or someone you care about.

1) Plan for safe communication: Identify safe ways to communicate with your children, school staff, and trusted supports
2) Update school emergency contacts: Make sure the school has current contact information and knows who is authorized to pick up your child. If there are safety concerns involving a parent or caregiver, talk with the school about what information they need to help keep your child safe.
3) Review privacy and technology settings: Check what information is being shared through school apps, social media, location services, and devices. Talk with children about keeping personal information, schedules, and locations private.
4) Identify safe people and places: Help your child identify trusted adults at school and in the community they can turn to if they feel unsafe. Know where you can go and who you can contact if you need support.
5) Make a plan—and keep it flexible: Safety plans can change as circumstances change. Review your plan regularly and make adjustments based on new routines, school schedules, transportation, or changing safety concerns.

You deserve support. Safety planning is personal, and you don't have to do it alone. Reach out to a live advocate 24/7, 365 days a year by calling our helpline at 1-800-537-6066. Services are free and confidential.
