Sexual Assault Response Services of Southern Maine (SARSSM), the state's oldest and largest rape crisis center, was founded in 1973 to support survivors of sexual assault, their family and friends, and to help eradicate sexual violence. From these roots, we have grown into a major crisis intervention and resource center for all of southern Maine.

All of SARSSM's services are free & confidential. We offer services to women, men, adolescents, and children of all ages and backgrounds in York & Cumberland counties.

Please note: while we are happy to answer general questions & inquiries about our services and available community resources, at this time we are unable to provide advocacy via the internet. Thank you for your understanding.
