In Focus

The DisAbled Women’s Network (DAWN) / Réseau d’action des femmes handicapées (RAFH) and the Canadian Association for Community Living (CACL) are jointly implementing a pan-Canadian project that uses a local level community development approach in addressing two priority issues of concern for people with disabilities and Deaf people – health and wellness and violence and abuse. This project is called: InFocus: Bringing People with Disabilities into the Picture. The plan is to implement the project in one demonstration community in each of the 13 provinces and territories (PT). In each demonstration community, people with disabilities and Deaf people will be brought together with the local justice, health and social services sectors to establish a coordinated community response to both the issue of health promotion and abuse against men, women and older people with disabilities and Deaf people.
