No Awarness

Preplanning

Professionalism

Initiation
The local family abuse center that started three years ago, has several stable programs available to individuals seeking refuge from domestic violence, with no intention of expansion.
Stabilization

Denial

Denial
During the COVID-19 pandemic, more and more community members became comfortable with new efforts to combat the virus, including getting vaccinated.
Expansion

Stabilization
