Domestic Violence and People with Disabilities

Violence and People Living with Disabilities" on May 21 and June 4 at
3:00 - 4:00 PM ET.

Presented by staff from Barrier Free Living, the two-part
webinar series will examine domestic violence and its impact on people with
disabilities, as well as safety planning and available resources.
The first webinar will explore the intersection of interpersonal
violence and disability by providing an understanding of what domestic
violence is and exploring how interpersonal violence affects individuals
with disabilities with co-occurring needs, such as substance abuse and
mental health diagnoses.
The second webinar will focus on the unique challenges a
person with a disability faces when in an interpersonal violence
relationship, including barriers to seeking safety and the impact of
trauma.

comprehensive information for people living with spinal cord injury,
paralysis and mobility-related disabilities and their support networks.
Resources include information and referral by phone and email in multiple
languages including Spanish; a peer and family support mentoring program; a
