ShifaME

Refugee families in our communities have endured violence and dislocation prior to arrival in the United States.  

Spurwink provides culturally appropriate services for refugee and immigrant youth and their families in Maine, with programs starting in Lewiston, Biddeford, and Greater Portland.

MULTICULTURAL CARE COORDINATION (CASE MANAGEMENT)

ShifaME’s Multicultural Care Coordinators partner with youth and families, natural supports, and service providers in the home, school, and community to reduce barriers that face refugee, asylee, and immigrant families.

COUNSELING

ShifaME counseling is a service for children and families who have experienced trauma or severe stress associated with being a refugee, asylee, or immigrant. This includes stress related to trauma, acculturation, resettlement, or isolation. The model for treatment is Trauma Systems Therapy adapted for Refugees (TST-R).
