Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A mobile app that provides anonymous, immediate access to crisis counselors and legal resources for minors in abusive homes.
  2. A community-led digital platform that connects at-risk youth with verified mentors and social workers for guidance.
  3. A policy initiative to mandate school-based workshops that teach children how to identify domestic abuse and safely access emergency support services.
