Grant Summary and Timeline:
People with disabilities are at far greater risk for abuse than people without disabilities and most abuse is unreported. The Sedgwick County Developmental Disability Organization (SCDDO) would like to address this issue by providing individuals with Developmental Disabilities the tools they need to reduce the risk of abuse.The goal of this project is to empower individuals with knowledge so that they are able to recognize potential abuse, neglect and exploitation and are aware of their rights to protect and how to assert these rights if necessary. This will be accomplished through the implementation of a training model call Stop Abuse for Everybody (S.A.F.E). The central idea of the S.A.F.E. curriculum is empowerment/power of knowledge.
This grant will help cover the cost of training materials, including: training binders, supplies, refreshments needed for the training sessions, and staff cost for our designated trainer. The CDDO will provide 21 trainings during the nine-month grant period. Each provider agency participating in training will receive a training binder which includes a CD with PowerPoint presentations and training module information, which will enable them to provide future training sessions.
