🌲 Jackman Maine, we’re coming your way! 🌲

This Saturday, members of the KBH Community Engagement Team, along with our Crisis Services Liaison, will be in Jackman for the Moose River Valley Community Health & Safety Fair!

📅 Saturday, September 26
⏰ 10:00 AM–3:00 PM
📍 Turbo Images, 21 Long Pond Road, Jackman

Stop by the KBH table to say hello, meet members of our team, and ask any questions you may have about accessing KBH services, finding the right level of support, or knowing where to begin when you or someone you care about needs help.

We’ll also be introducing attendees to a curated list of free and low-cost apps pulled together by our friends at NAMI Maine that can put practical wellness tools right at your fingertips, including resources for:

🧘 Stress Relief & Self-Care
📅 Daily Routines
🛟 Crisis & Safety Support
📱 Condition-Specific Trackers

All of the apps featured are available for both iPhone and Android, and we’ll have information available to help you explore which tools might be useful for you or someone you support.

The Community Health & Safety Fair is free and open to everyone, with organizations and activities focused on health, safety, education, preparedness, and community resources for people of all ages.

If you’re in Jackman or the greater Moose River Valley this weekend, come find the KBH team and say hello! We’d love to meet you, answer your questions, and help connect you with resources that can support your well-being. 💚

Meet Tina Chapman, Senior Engagement Officer at KBH 💙

If Tina's face looks familiar, there's a good reason! As an active and past Rotary District Governor, Tina has spent years showing up for communities, building connections, and bringing people together around causes that matter.

That same spirit of service is woven into everything she does at KBH.

Tina brings a whole lot of heart to our Community Engagement Team, along with the steady leadership, relationship-building, and thoughtful stewardship that has helped move transformative projects and partnerships forward, shaping where KBH is headed next. She has a gift for connecting people, ideas, and opportunities in ways that strengthen both our organization and the communities we serve.

So naturally, we asked Tina to help us with one more community connection.

Her message? There are only SEVEN DAYS LEFT! ⏳

Through September 30, every specially marked Hannaford Helps Community Bag purchased at the Augusta Hannaford (118 Cony Street) generates a $1 donation to Kennebec Behavioral Health.

One bag. One dollar. One small everyday purchase that helps support KBH's work throughout our communities.

So if your reusable-bag collection could use just one more, or you've been meaning to grab one and haven't yet, Tina says this is your reminder. 💙

Help us make these final seven days count:
🛍️ Grab a bag

Small bag. Big impact. Stronger communities.

Two pianos. Two microphones. One unforgettable night. 🎹

Receiving a key is a milestone. But a key alone does not make a home.

For someone beginning again, the things many of us barely notice, clean sheets, a towel, a pan to cook a first meal, basic cleaning supplies, can make a new space feel safer, more settled and truly their own.

That is the heart of our Welcome Home Kits campaign. This fall, we are working to prepare 8 complete kits for people moving into KBH Supported Housing.

You do not have to fill an entire basket to be part of this. One needed item can help move us closer to one complete welcome home.

See how to help: https://www.kbhmaine.org/welcome-home/
