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: 1) Gain an understanding of the Adult Advocacy Center model 2) Understand how communities can work together to form a multi-disciplinary team to have a holistic response with this model 3) Understand how a universal and multi-sensory building design allows for truly inclusive services for crime victims. |
