Safety in the Summer Season resource guide
The holidays and summer season can be traumatic for people experiencing violence, abuse and neglect. Data shows that the incidence of abuse and family violence escalates at this time, and this also applies for disabled people.
VisAble has produced a resource guide for professionals who are supporting at-risk people through these challenges. It has practical tools, tips and techniques for your use.
This resource guide provides some practical ideas and strategies to help you when supporting people during the summer season, along with some tools that may mitigate the risk of harm.
