time:
10:00 AM
description:
Ten training opportunities are being offered statewide to adult self-advocates and their family members or caregivers to increase understanding of the issues that lead
to and ways to prevent sexual abuse and exploitation of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities experience sexual abuse and exploitation at significantly higher rates than in the population at large.
Unfortunately, individuals with intellectual and development disabilities are also more vulnerable to repeated abuse and exploitation when incidences go unreported. Many factors contribute to this increased risk including, but not limited to, a lack of understanding of human anatomy, sexual development, and healthy relationships.
Take advantage of this incredible opportunity to receive valuable information to protect yourself or a loved one! Each training session is free to attend, but you must pre-register as seating is limited. These training events are provided through a partnership between the Council and Team Dynamics, LLC.
