DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Maine is seeking a vendor to provide program development services for parents who are divorcing, separating, or living apart through the distribution of federal Access and Visitation funds. The opportunity includes the development and delivery of co-parenting education programs and high-conflict co-parenting education programs intended to support separated families.

For co-parenting education programs, the provider must deliver sessions led by at least two trainers with gender diversity. Trainers must have prior training or experience working with parents who are separated, divorced, or living apart, and must also be trained in the dynamics and effects of domestic abuse and violence. The program must include a screening process for domestic abuse and violence, run for a minimum of four hours, and be offered at least monthly unless otherwise specified in the contract. Programs must be delivered remotely to maximize geographic access, though in-person delivery may also be offered.

For high-conflict co-parenting education programs, the provider must also use at least two trainers with gender diversity, and a mental health professional must participate as either a trainer or program advisor. The program must include screening for domestic abuse and violence, be specifically tailored to parents in high-conflict situations, consist of multiple sessions, and be offered at least quarterly unless otherwise contracted. Remote delivery is required to maximize statewide availability, with optional in-person offerings. The contract term is one year, and questions are due by July 16, 2026.
