The Kennebunk Police Department started its Behavioral Health Liaison unit in 2021. This program is an effort to support law enforcement’s response to those with behavioral health and resource needs in our community. Our Behavioral Health Liaisons (BHLs) are embedded within the Police Department and can respond to calls for service with police to assist individuals in crisis or in need of support. They also follow up on calls for service, support first-responder wellness initiatives, and first-responder peer support. They assist the town’s residents with matters including mental health, substance use, and resource needs. Some of the issues BHLs support residents around include referrals for services and supports, mental health crises, overdoses, bereavement, housing, heating, and family conflict.

If you need assistance or would like to receive more information, please contact one of our BHLs, Rachel Schlein or Catheirne Fisher.

Additionally, the Town of Kennebunk’s Social Services Department page contains information on other community resources and can be found here.
