Breaking the Silence: Understanding and Preventing Sexual Abuse for People with IDD

In this episode of QuilloPod, Cynthia and John discuss sexual abuse prevention, response, and survivorship.   Research suggests that three out of four adults with an intellectual disability will experience sexual abuse in their lifetime. Yet it remains widely underreported, misunderstood, and underprepared for by the very organizations and families meant to provide support. John and Cynthia break down three essential areas every family member, caregiver, and professional should know: *  How to recognize the signs, including behavioral and emotional changes, that may indicate abuse *  How to respond when someone discloses abuse, what to say, what not to say, and why your reaction matters * How to support healing and justice.    Resources mentioned in the episode:    MyQuillo Authors  * Cierra Olivia Thomas, founder of Indiana Disability Justice  [https://indisabilityjustice.org/] * Dr. Karyn Harvey Learn more about her work * Dr. Nora Baladerian  Learn more about her work [https://norabaladerian.com/] To learn more about MyQuillo visit MyQuillo.com  Episode Transcript [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kVakBWQ9gn7623WNjS2DqE_IpMHTivtp/view?usp=sharing] Want to share stories with us?
