Vision
The vision of the FACES Collaborative of Montgomery County, Ohio (“FACES Collaborative” or the “Collaborative”) is to provide a seamless community response to individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals who experience intimate partner violence, caregiver violence, and/or sexual assault.
