Want to know what makes services accessible for women and non-binary people with intellectual disability who have experienced violence?
Hear it from the experts in this field;
that is, women and non-binary people who have an intellectual disability!
Have a look at our new Animation Videos!
In collaboration with the experts, we created 5 animation videos that share their stories as people with intellectual disabilities. Each story shares a myth about intellectual disability and how it impacts people in their daily lives.
WWILD Sexual Violence Prevention Association Inc. created the And You Think You’re the Expert? podcast and other resources as part of the Listen Up! Project.
For this project, we talked with women and non-binary people with an intellectual disability about what makes safe, accessible services for them, after an experience of violence, such as sexual assault and/or domestic and family violence.
We have created a 7-episode podcast, videos, posters and a booklet that discuss disability, violence and accessibility. The podcast is hosted by the experts!
Each episode, our experts interview a worker in this field; a sexual violence counsellor, a domestic violence worker, a support worker, a support coordinator, a mental health worker and a police officer.
Our experts offer their wisdom and advice to the workers.
So, grab a cuppa, get comfy and listen up!
