Description
The State of Maine Judicial Branch is seeking non‑profit entities to develop and deliver three program streams—co‑parent education, high‑conflict co‑parenting education, and supervised visitation—for parents undergoing divorce, separation, or living apart. The award will fund scholarship assistance, training, and service delivery for a one‑year period, with optional renewal for up to two additional years. Applicants must demonstrate non‑profit status, a board of directors, and the capacity to meet domestic‑abuse screening, staff‑training, and secure‑site requirements. The contract value totals approximately $95,000, paid monthly.
• Provide remote (and optional in‑person) co‑parent education sessions of at least four hours, offered at least monthly.
• Deliver high‑conflict co‑parenting education with a mental‑health professional, offered at least quarterly.
• Operate in‑person supervised visitation sites with strict separation protocols and trained staff, plus secure video‑conferencing when appropriate.
• Include scholarship assistance for participants who cannot afford program fees, and maintain monthly reporting to the Department.
• Must meet background‑check and domestic‑abuse screening standards, and be prepared for site visits by the Department.
