On Thursday at 1pm, Catherine Hughes will be presenting "Demonstrating the Need for Teaching Self Care and Healthy Relationships to Prevent Victimization" with Sharon Greene, Executive Administrator for ACHIEVA.
Session Abstract:
Young adults with disabilities need instruction, repetition, and remediation in such areas as hygiene, self-care, sexuality, and relationships. They face challenges with social media, crime, and partnerships. We must facilitate skill acquisition and address topics in a developmentally appropriate and proactive manner to ensure successful transition and encourage prevention of crime and victimization.
