The Maine Department of Health and Human Services’ SUPPORT for ME initiative, in collaboration with the University of Southern Maine, is hosting virtual group discussions for Maine providers who deliver services to people with substance use disorder (SUD). 

You are invited to share your feedback about the resources available in Maine to address SUD by taking part in this important group discussion online or by phone. The session will last no longer than 60 minutes. Any identifying information of focus group participants will be closely protected and kept confidential. Your feedback about your experiences as a provider will help identify how to improve treatment and recovery services in Maine. We’d like to hear from you!
