Abuse is REAL.
Recognize. Empower. Ask. Listen.
These four actions, Recognize, Empower, Ask, Listen, can change a life. The Abuse is REAL campaign was created to raise awareness, inspire action, and protect adults with disabilities from abuse and neglect. Each graphic in this series is designed to educate, engage, and remind us of the responsibility we all share, and the power we each have to make a difference. You are encouraged to download, print, and post these materials in workplaces, programs, and public spaces to spark conversation, strengthen awareness, and reinforce the importance of recognizing and reporting abuse.
