OUR
MISSION
WE CAN DO THIS
The Natalie Project (#ustoo) is a family-led advocacy organization dedicated to preventing sexual assault among individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
Its mission is to raise awareness about the epidemic rates of sexual assault within this population, driven by external factors and systemic weaknesses. The Project focuses on increasing awareness, equipping advocates with resources to address suspected abuse, and fostering a community of advocates committed to creating systemic change.
