Complete your Dempsey Center Orientation

The orientation video introduces you to each service provided by the Dempsey Center and will help you have a better understanding of the scope of support available to you through our services. We ask that all clients complete an orientation in the way that works best for them. As you have selected an On-Demand Orientation, we ask that you do watch the above video in its entirety to get a full look into the Dempsey Center.

All individuals impacted by cancer are eligible for some form of the Center’s services. Some services are particularly designed and structured for those with the diagnosis of cancer, and who are actively participating in medical treatments. Services are also available for those who are post-treatment (or not seeking treatment), are an identified primary care partner (a selection that the individual with the diagnosis can make if they have a primary care partner interested in services), and for other family members and friends impacted by an individual’s cancer diagnosis.  

Changes in an individual’s cancer status (e.g., a recurrence or new metastasis) may impact the services they are eligible to receive/participate in. After one year of utilizing services, it may be necessary for Dempsey Center staff to contact you to collect relevant information about your cancer impact, to ensure the services available to you best meet your needs.  

After completing your video, you will receive a Welcome Email within three business days from our scheduling system that will explain how you can set up an account in our online scheduling system to sign up for virtual programming as well as other important information about being a client at the Center. If you’d like to schedule an individual service (or if you have any questions at all), please email us at info@dempseycenter.org or give us a call at 877-336-7287.

If you have completed the On-Demand Virtual Orientation, you are still welcome to access services in-person at our locations in Lewiston and Greater Portland, Maine. If you would like to visit our physical locations, please call us at 877-336-7287 or email us at info@dempseycenter.org to connect with a member of our team to set something up.

If you reside in Maine and have completed the Orientation process, you are eligible to access our Counseling Services (depending on the above eligibility guidelines and current waitlist times). Because of licensure laws, we are only able to provide counseling services to Maine residents (in-person or virtually).
