Join the March Lunch & Learn

Friday, March 31st (11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. EST)

There are many kinds of abuse: physical, emotional, verbal, psychological, sexual, and financial/economic. People with intellectual/developmental disabilities (IDD) experience them all. However, it can be especially difficult for people with IDD to access domestic violence services. This is why it is important to learn about how to recognize and respond when someone with IDD discloses abuse.

Join us in March to learn about:

• Signs and how disability-specific abuse can look

• Common reasons why people with IDD do not report

• Services and how to report in Indiana
