Notice of Availability of Free Language Assistance Services

The Maine Department of Health and Human Services is committed to providing services that are accessible to people who have Limited English Proficiency (LEP). To LEP individuals seeking services from DHHS, qualified interpreters are available (at no cost to the client) to help communicate with the Department. Important documents are being identified and gradually translated into the predominant languages spoken in Maine.

The Department of Health and Human Services Language Access Policy is available on the Department’s web site at http://www.maine.gov/dhhs/policies/. For more information, please contact Noel Bonam at 207-287-4272 or Noel.Bonam@maine.gov.
