The Victimization and People with Disabilities: It’s Real TALKS Train-The-Trainer Discussion Guide, with TALKS videos, is for organizations to learn about victims with developmental and other disabilities who have experienced crimes of sexual assault, trafficking, financial exploitation, and Medicaid fraud; and solutions from professionals to help support survivors and to reduce victimization of people with disabilities.

Regardless if you are a first-time trainer or never trained before on victimization and disability – we have got you ready with this easy-to-follow resource!
