Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by the mass shootings that occurred in Lewiston, Maine. Resources For Living (RFL) is offering support and resources to individuals and organizations who have been affected.

Liberalized services include:

    • In-the-moment phone support to help callers cope with the emotional impact of the event.
    • Resource research and referral to guide callers to local services to meet their needs.
    • Informational brochures about dealing with a crisis (use the Coping with different types of crises drop-down at the bottom of the list).

Note: This site is available to the public for those who do not have RFL for employee assistance program (EAP) services. Plan sponsors and members should use their RFL website to get full access to the online resources and tools.
