Welcome, everyone — and thank you for being here.
This space, the Oversight & Public Engagement Network (O.P.E.N. Maine), was created to bring together families, survivors, advocates, and community members who believe in transparency, accountability, and truth within Maine’s child welfare and public service systems.
This is a community where:
🔹 Voices are heard🔹 Experiences matter🔹 Patterns are identified🔹 Stories are protected, not silenced🔹 Advocacy is supported🔹 Reform becomes possible through collective strength
Whether you’re here to share your own experience, learn from others, participate in public oversight, or simply stay informed, you are welcome. Your presence strengthens this movement.
This network is built on safety, respect, and empowerment.Please take a moment to review the group rules — they exist to protect both you and everyone here.
