Program Description - The Department's Systems Change Initiatives are dedicated to improving the identification of and response to domestic and sexual violence against people with disabilities by examining the intersection of violence and disabilities. Through a collaborative approach between victim services and disability service providers, barriers to survivors with disabilities accessing services are addressed, outreach and education efforts are enhanced and trauma-informed support systems are strengthened. These system change initiatives are supported through grants from the Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women.
