This is a support group for adults impacted by the mass violence event of 10/25/2023 in Lewiston that will be on Mondays at 5:30PM running from September 14 - October 26th.

Group will begin with a segment of psychoeducation where the facilitators will provide information on the effects traumatic events can have on our brains and bodies.

Group participants are then invited to share their experiences, or "symptoms", and learn skills from facilitors and peers about how to manage those. Examples could be difficulty sleeping, panic attacks, flashbacks, fear of going into the community, or other ways that your life has changed since 10/25/2023.

While attendance to all dates this group is encouraged to benefit you the most, drop-in on dates that work best for you is also welcome.

This group is facilitaed by Rachel Dyer, LCPC and Meagan McDougal, LCSW.

If ASL interpretation is needed, please contact the Friday prior.

If you or someone you know have been impacted by the mass shooting in Lewiston on 10/25/2023 we invite you to come to the center to learn more about our services, meet with one of our advocates, or pick up materials to share with others.

What does impacted mean?

Victims/survivors and witnesses: those who were physically present including physically injured, psychologically injured, or who saw and experienced the violence firsthand.

First responders and service providers: those involved in emergency, medical, or emotional care.

Family and friends: loved ones of victims/survivors, witnesses, first responders, and service providers, regardless of proximity to the event.

Wider community members: people who experience fear, grief, disruption, or a loss of safety, even if not physically present. This could include, but is not limited to, businesses and residential homes that were in lockdown.

Impact can be emotional, psychological, physical, spiritual, or social—and it may emerge immediately or over time. Recognizing the broad range of impact helps ensure that support and healing are inclusive and far-reaching.

Please join us for our community nights at Just-In-Time Recreation every Wednesday through the end of August from 6-8PM. Bowling (ten pin, candlepin), simulators (golf, baseball, and softball), and food are free of cost.

These events are for any person who feels impacted by 10/25/2023 - whether you were present, lost a loved one, are a first responder, or are otherwise affected by 10/25/2023 - or know anyone who is - we hope to see you there.

MRC staff will be on site for support and to provide information about our services. We will be located on the left side of the alley once you enter. Questions? We can be reached at info@maineresiliencycente.org or by phone at 207-515-3930

The Maine Resiliency Center invites allied professionals who support the victims and survivors of the community impacted by 10/25/2023 to join us for a weekly drop-in evening dedicated to you. This is a space to step away from the work, connect with others who understand it, and simply be together.

Each week offers a chance to unwind, share conversation, and build community with fellow professionals who share a commitment to healing and resilience. Whether you come every week or just when you need it most, you are welcome here.

The Maine Resiliency Center exists to support victims, survivors, families, and communities impacted by mass violence — and we know that the people who show up for them need a place to be supported, too. This drop-in night is our way of honoring that.

Come as you are. Stay as long as you'd like. You don't have to carry this work alone.

Large events and navigating crowds can be challenging and overwhelming for some, MRC guests will have their own tent with picnic tables and staff will be on site for support.

We will be located underneath the tent near the corn maze and recommend taking the 2nd dirt drive off of Ricker Hill Road. We hope to see you there!

Nearly three years after the October 25, 2023 shooting in Lewiston, many members of our community continue to live with the long-term effects of grief, stress, and trauma.

These experiences may not always be visible and can show up in the workplace in many different ways, affecting focus, communication, relationships, mood, energy, and overall function and well-being.

Join Rachel Dyer, LPC, LCPC for a trauma-informed workshop designed for employers, supervisors, and workplace leaders.

We will explore ways to support employees as they navigate the ongoing impacts of trauma and grief while recognizing that recovery does not follow a timeline.

• Understand how trauma affects the brain, body, and behavior

• Recognize the ways trauma can show up in the workplace

• Learn practical ways to support impacted employees

• Identify opportunities for action and change

• Build a trauma-informed work culture

This is a support group for adults impacted by the mass violence event of 10/25/2023 in Lewiston that will be on Mondays at 5:30PM running from September 14 - October 26th.

Group will begin with a segment of psychoeducation where the facilitators will provide information on the effects traumatic events can have on our brains and bodies.

Group participants are then invited to share their experiences, or "symptoms", and learn skills from facilitors and peers about how to manage those. Examples could be difficulty sleeping, panic attacks, flashbacks, fear of going into the community, or other ways that your life has changed since 10/25/2023.

While attendance to all dates this group is encouraged to benefit you the most, drop-in on dates that work best for you is also welcome.

This group is facilitaed by Rachel Dyer, LCPC and Meagan McDougal, LCSW.
