A Survivor's Story:

"On the outside I looked fine, yet on the inside I was in complete turmoil. I had been abused for much of my childhood and had never been at a place where I could process through my experiences. Over time, I couldn’t hold things back anymore.
Then a friend told me about SAVES. . .
I soon found that the people at SAVES actually listened to me and didn’t judge me. I found myself sharing my life experiences, the joys, struggles, and pain."

Volunteering with the SAVES’ 24-hour Sexual Assault Crisis & Support Helpline can be a life-changing experience for people who want to help others. By supporting people who call our helpline, volunteers encourage a social climate in which every human being has the right to live without fear of sexual violence. They support people in crisis, provide information to family and loved ones, help to dispel myths, and learn valuable listening and communication skills.

Trainings are held in the spring and fall, and classes meet once/week for 12 weeks.

Potential advocates must be at least 18 years of age, and the training is free to those volunteering their time to the helpline.

For further information or an application for the program, contact SAVES by phone at 207-778-9522, by e-mail, or come by the office at The Holman House, 227 Main Street, 2nd floor, Farmington, ME.
