Across Maine, parents and caregivers are stepping up every day to care for their children, families, and communities—and they deserve support along the way. A number of statewide campaigns and resources have been created to help families find what they need, whether that’s practical assistance, emotional support, or ways to strengthen connections at home and in the community.
Websites like BeThereforME.org, LeadTheWayMaine.com, and BeMyHeroToday.com offer trusted information and tools to help families thrive. These sites connect parents and caregivers to a wide range of resources—from finding housing and child care, to having important conversations with kids about health and safety, to learning how to support children’s wellbeing and prevent abuse.
Each of these efforts is built in partnership with Maine parents, caregivers, and community organizations, reflecting their real experiences and the types of support families say they need most. Together, they create a network of encouragement and information designed to help families take the next step—whatever that may look like for them.
More family-focused websites and campaigns continue to grow across Maine, expanding opportunities for connection, learning, and support. Stay tuned as we add more resources to this page to help every parent and caregiver find what they need to be there for the children in their lives.
