Training Description
Sexual abuse of youth with disabilities is rarely talked about despite its high prevalence. This is problematic given how many system-involved youth have disabilities. It's crucial for those who support system involved youth to learn about this topic so they can prevent youth with disabilities from being sexually abused or effectively respond if the youth has been abused.
Learning Objective
1. Participants will be able to identify at least 1 risk factor for sexual abuse with system-involved youth with disabilities.
2. Participants will be able to identify at least 1 preventive strategy to protect disabled youth from abuse.
