Disabilities - The Initiative is a disability centered organization. People with disabilities experience higher rates of abuse, and there aren’t very many services out there that are set up to help. We ask about your disabilities so that we can begin to understand your unique experience, do disability specific safety planning, provide disability specific resources, and track the types of disabilities that our clients have. Anybody who has experienced abuse can seek services from us, even if you do not have a disability, or if you do not identify as disabled.
