Help Survivors When They Need It Most
SARSSM’s 24-hour helpline and in-person support at hospitals and police stations rely on dedicated volunteers — and we urgently need more.

If you're looking for meaningful work that truly matters, join our volunteer team serving York and Cumberland Counties. We welcome people from all backgrounds across Southern Maine.

You’ll receive full training & ongoing support to provide this impactful service.

SARSSM urgently needs more volunteer Helpline Advocates to ensure every survivor who calls gets the compassionate care and support they deserve.

Not sure the Helpline is your cup of tea? Consider joining our Board of Directors and help guide SARSSM’s mission at the leadership level. 
"Volunteering on SARSSM's helpline has been a enormously personally impactful experience.  Being able to contribute to the welfare and wellbeing of my community and neighbors and bringing that small amount of ease to anyone's experience is so meaningful."
