SYSTEMS
The purpose of this toolkit is to be a resource for communities in order to create a network the moment an Indigenous person goes missing in the community. Whether this person goes missing in a tribal, rural, or urban community it is imperative that all systems are aligned to ensure that search efforts are repeating each other. The following is a model to align systems, along with a micro to macro level approach to advocacy, policy, prevention, and emergency response regarding MMIWP.
FRAMEWORK USED:
A ROSTIR Model for Red Dress Vitality Toolkit
LOGIC MODEL
Successful implementation of the tool-kit will be evaluated by meeting our objectives listed under outcomes, the number of technical assistance requests received, and the ability to meet the Gantt chart object tasks.
