Vision

Women with disabilities and Deaf women throughout Lane County who have experienced violence and abuse will be empowered to disclose abuse and access services and safety.  The services women seek will be accessible, responsive and informed because agencies throughout Lane County will understand and address the vulnerabilities, barriers and challenges that survivors encounter and will embrace the important role each plays in promoting safety for women with disabilities and Deaf women.

Mission

To effect system change in Lane County around services for women with disabilities and Deaf women who have experienced violence or abuse.  With the active participation by survivor consumers, we will: nurture better relationships between our agencies; provide cross training to collaboration members; integrate the experiences of women with disabilities and Deaf women into our agency policies and protocols; and, sustain our work beyond the grant funding.
