Maine PASA’s “Our Stories” Project chronicles the experience of Maine caregivers. Each story evolves out of a series of in-depth interviews and is told in the worker’s voice. These stories are about what Maine caregivers, support professionals, and personal assistants have seen with their eyes and felt with their hands and hearts. The “Our Stories” project provides a glimpse into the value of quality care.
