Feedback Survey

In 2021, ICADV collaborated with programs from across the state to better understand and evaluate the "mobile advocacy" service model for survivors. Some programs have been conducting Mobile Advocacy since the 1970s while others transitioned to MA in the wake of COVID-19. Through the process, we discovered how impactful MA is to survivors in centering their needs. In our presentation, you will hear from folxs doing MA across the state as well as a sneak peek into our MA Toolkit to support other programs doing this work in Indiana and around the country.
