Framework for change

We have organized this toolkit to follow a collaborative change framework. This framework centers the people we serve by better understanding and engaging people’s experiences, needs, strengths and hopes.

01
Understand experiences

UNDERSTAND people’s experiences along the survivor journey

03
Create spaces

CREATE spaces to lift up the voices of communities and Black women and girls

05
Implement strategies

IMPLEMENT strategies integrating pillars of culturally sustaining responses

02
Develop strategies

DEVELOP strategies for culturally responsive services and supports

04
Co-design services

CO-DESIGN services with partners and Black women and girls

06
Amplify efforts

AMPLIFY efforts. Cultivate partnerships. Recognize and celebrate progress

This framework is flexible. At any point you might move from one element to another as you continue to center those you serve.
