On May 14, tune in to an informative webinar on the problems with historic responses to violence against people with disabilities and review supportive strategies that can be applied to help people with disabilities live safer, more autonomous lives.

People with disabilities are more likely to experience domestic and sexual violence than people without disabilities.  Limiting the autonomy people with disabilities can increase their risk of victimization.  Alternatively, providing people with disabilities with control over their own lives empowers them and better facilitates their safety.
