New Hope for Women is pleased to announce the addition of Doreen Martel Chamberlin to its staff as a legal advocate for Sagadahoc and Lincoln counties.

Chamberlin is responsible for providing information and support to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking. She’ll help victims learn skills and identify resources available to them within their own networks and in the community.

Additionally, Chamberlin will work alongside law enforcement and the criminal justice system in the hope of creating a community that is supportive of the work being done by New Hope for Women and its goal of ending domestic violence.

“Empowering members of the community to overcome obstacles which limit peace in their lives is so important to me,” said Chamberlin. “New Hope for Women goes one step further and works tirelessly to remove the barriers and illuminate the systems which often perpetuate domestic violence.”

New Hope for Women offers support to people in Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox and Waldo counties affected by domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. It also provides important educational resources to assist our communities in creating a safer and healthier future.
