The
Adult Advocacy Centers are the first centers that will be equipped to provide
holistic, accessible and trauma-informed services to adult crime victims with
disabilities in a universal and multi-sensory environment. The AACs will work
in partnership with state, regional and community agencies to coordinate a
response that promotes the safety and well-being of all individuals. To provide
these services, the AACs will facilitate multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) within
local communities.
Learning objectives:
- Gain an understanding of the Adult Advocacy Center model
- Understand how communities can work together to form a multi-disciplinary team to have a holistic response with this model
- Understand how a universal and multi-sensory building design allows for truly inclusive services for crime victims.
