- Implementation of an effective approach by mapping the theories and ideas to support social change and conduct a strengths and needs assessment within our organizations;
- Sorting of an inventory of possible components of theories and ideas, such as theories of change, social diffusion, and levels of engagement as-well-as an analysis of the strengths and needs assessment to guide an effective approach;
- Designing an effective strategy to promote trauma-informed, safe and accessible services for individuals with disabilities who may or have experienced domestic violence, relationship abuse, stalking and sexual violence;
- Scaling to impact through our spheres of influence including Centers for Independent Living, domestic and sexual violence programs, and systems that impact individuals with disabilities who may or have experienced domestic violence, relationship abuse, stalking and sexual violence; and
