Living with Disability

Everyone has the right to feel safe, including people living with a disability.

People with disabilities often experience a range of adverse situations, including:

  • Emotional and verbal abuse
  • Physical and sexual abuse
  • Legal and financial abuse
  • Coercive control and manipulation
  • Humiliation
  • Neglect and social isolation
  • Exploitation

By accessing the right support services, you can start to make progress in these areas:

  • Start to work through past trauma
  • Regain confidence and self-esteem
  • Nurture emotional and mental wellbeing
  • Learn coping mechanisms to help manage stress
  • Learn ways to respond to future negative behaviour.
If you find it difficult to hear or to speak, you can contact us through the National Relay Service (NRS). Please call 133-677
