Vision

The vision of the Domestic Violence & Mental Health Collaboration Project is that domestic violence, mental health, chemical dependency and related organizations will be able to provide quality services to survivors of domestic violence who have disabilities in a manner that embraces their diversity.

Mission

The mission of the Domestic Violence & Mental Health Collaboration Project is to facilitate sustainable systems change within and among the participating organizations to better meet the mental health, safety and self-determination needs of survivors of domestic violence who have been traumatized or whose existing mental health problems have been exacerbated by domestic violence. The participating organizations will strive to make services more accessible, holistic, and integrated, to work more collaboratively together, and to effectively utilize reciprocal consultation.

Liaisons will be able to provide information about their agency’s services to other partner agencies and will be able to find out information about the partner agencies for the co-workers at their own agency. The liaisons will either provide consultation themselves, or connect providers to the people who can best assist them at their organization.
