Friday, January, 16, 2026 from 5:30pm-6:45pm

with Victoria Rutledge and Mary at PYP DOWNTOWN

This January, join Victoria and Mary from through these doors as we host another action event at our downtown location. When the social services experience dramatic reductions in funding both nationally and here in Maine, domestic violence and interpartner violence rise as well. It is now more important than ever that we have the skills to recognize coercive and abusive dynamics and prepare ourselves to be safe community members when we are called on for support.

At this event, we will come up with a working definition of what we mean when we talk about DV, highlight the resources and work that Through These Doors offers to members of the Cumberland County Community, and role play how to receive and support someone that discloses to you. We will end our session by writing post cards that will be distributed directly to survivors of violence. As always, we will weave in moments of reflection and movement as we hold the heaviness of this topic together.

This event is FREE and open to ALL!  Please register below so we can know how many to expect!
