Improving Your Response to
Victims with Disabilities
According to the World Health Organization, people with disabilities are 1.5 times more likely to be a victim of violence than those without a disability. Those with mental health conditions are at nearly four times the risk of experiencing violence. Explore these webinars to learn more about how to care for victims with disabilities and investigate crimes committed against these individuals.  
Survivor’s Voices: Reimagining Justice for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
In this webinar, attendees explore what justice means to people with disabilities by listening to the voices of survivors. Together, we can reimagine what trauma-informed best practices should look like for victims with disabilities.
Using Technology to Identify Sexual Abuse in Persons with Intellectual Disabilities
Health care providers do not have a standard method to recognize signs of abuse, which may present differently and can be mistaken for other health issues among individuals with communication disabilities. This webinar examines new information technologies, such as the Right Care Now Project, which can detect patterns of abuse from information regularly documented by caregivers.
Transforming Crisis Response into Long-Term Solutions
The COVID-19 pandemic taught us how to offer services in accessible and flexible ways. We now better understand the true meaning of “client centered” services, allowing people to choose how they would like to receive services (e.g., phone, video, or in-person). This webinar explores strategies to modify programs to better serve people with disabilities and identifies elements of Social Work principals of “meeting people where they are at” as it relates to agencies’ policies and procedures.
Successfully Investigating Sexual Assault Against Victims with Disabilities
When training for law enforcement focuses solely on respect and the use of people-first language, police officers are often left wondering how to investigate crimes committed against a person with a disability. This webinar is designed to answer some of these questions. It will examine the general framework for crafting an investigative strategy, based on key factors such as whether the victim is capable of consenting to sexual activity and whether the suspect is in a caregiver role or other position of authority. Additionally, various stages of the investigation will be described, including the initial response and preliminary investigation, the detailed follow-up interview(s) with the victim, and other steps taken to identify additional evidence and witnesses.
