NCADV:Interpersonal Violence and Disability: Understanding the Intersection and Making Connections
Presented by Cynthia Amodeo and Paul Feuerstein, Barrier Free Living
This 90 minute webinar will explore the intersection of domestic violence and disability. We will begin by understanding what exactly a disability is from a social model perspective and explore how interpersonal violence affects individuals with disabilities. We will then discuss the unique challenges a person with a disability faces when in an interpersonal violence relationship including barriers to seeking safety and the impact it has on trauma. We will address how the pandemic has shifted our work as it relates to safety planning and service provision.
