NDRN Launches “Know Your Right to Be Safe at Home: Caregiver Abuse during the COVID-19 Pandemic” Video

You have the right to feel comfortable with your caregivers!

Victim advocacy experts from Disability Rights Wisconsin have a few tips on recognizing caregiver abuse and requesting help. Check out this video message from Pam Malin, Advocacy Specialist, and Nadya Rosen, Managing Attorney. Together they encourage anyone experiencing violence during the pandemic to make a plan, know your options, and know that NO caregiver ever has the right to abuse you.
