As we approach our 50th year, Shalom House continues to be a leader in providing a wide array of support services and affordable housing options for people living with severe mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Shalom House has built a reputation among social service providers in Maine for providing a flexible continuum of care that meets people at their level of need, stops the ravaging effects of mental illness on their lives, and helps them to maintain their highest level of independence.
Shalom House is committed to helping people move away from dependence on the mental health system and institutional settings toward community-based services and natural supports. Our overreaching goal is to help people with mental illness break through the barriers that make it difficult to recover from their illnesses. We accomplish this by:
Shalom House welcomes financial contributions from individuals and organizations who wish to support our mission of providing Home, Health, and Hope to those living with severe and persistent mental illness. Contributions can be designated to our various programs such as the Art Program, the Basic Needs Fund and the Annual Appeal– or made without a designation.
A wonderful way for businesses and other to volunteer their time is to become a board member. Our Board of Directors is a diverse group of business leaders and community members who bring their field of expertise to the table. Our Board of Directors is a hard-working, “hands-on”, active board. Each board member is asked to contribute 2-3 hours per month to board work by attending one monthly board meeting and sit on one of the board’s committees. Committee meetings are generally held once a month as well. We ask that all potential board members have experience with any charitable cause in the past and understand non-profit perspectives. Contact the Development Department at (207) 874-1080x102 if interested.
