Vision

Tubman and the Minnesota Brain Injury Alliance envision a model of accessible service that minimizes the effects of domestic violence and brain injury by providing resources within its programs, services, and information that helps individuals understand their options and helps them navigate their choices, free of violence and injury that enhances their life journey.

Mission

The mission of Navigating North Star Journeys is to enhance Tubman’s and the Minnesota Brain Injury Alliance’s capabilities to provide a holistic response to serve the unique needs of those who have experienced a brain injury and violence within an intimate relationship where a pattern of abusive behaviors occurs. The organizations will create a plan that utilizes the following broad approaches to minimizing the effects of domestic violence and brain injury: • Early identification. The ability for each organization to engage and consult with one another early in an individual’s journey to identify their unique needs to serve them accordingly. • Barrier-free access. The ability for individuals served to know, understand, and choose from a broad range of resources available within specific services and programs offered by each organization. This also includes access to information about domestic violence and brain injury prevention and intervention. • Individual choice. Provide individualized services that integrate best-practices surrounding co-occurring conditions. • Professional knowledge. Increase professional knowledge by staff from each agency to ensure cultural competencies to understand and meet the unique needs of the populations it serves. • Team-based approach. Provide a multi-disciplinary approach that captures the collective knowledge of staff from diverse education, experience and skill levels to help people navigate their individual options. • Accessibility and safety. Evolve policies and procedures that promote accessibility and safety for individuals by creating an environment that meets their unique needs.
