  • better understand the challenges men and women with disabilities face in getting access to services and supports to help them deal with issues of violence,
  • become more aware of the issues men and women with disabilities face in getting access to health care,
  • think about strategies to address barriers and support Islanders with disabilities to be safe and healthy and included in their communities.

  • Service providers who are involved in the prevention of and response to violence and abuse;
