Illinois Imagines
The Arc is a partner agency of the Rockford Collaboration of the Illinois Imagines project.
Illinois Imagines is a project of the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) funded by the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). In 2006, DHS received a three-year grant from OVW to examine and propose changes to the systems responding to women with disabilities who experience sexual violence. DHS’ grant project, called Illinois Imagines, is designed to strengthen the service delivery systems so that women with disabilities who survive sexual violence will receive a proactive, individualized, compassionate response to their experience.
Illinois Imagines convened a project team including representatives of key agencies working in the fields of disability and sexual assault. While bringing together partners from various areas of study can be challenging, all project team members shared a common vision of justice, compassion, person-centered services, and the empowerment of all women with disabilities who have survived sexual violence.
The project focus is to change
Illinois
systems to better serve women with disabilities who experience sexual violence.
