Disability can happen to anyone at any time. The improvements we make also help people without disabilities. Though we are making progress, we have a very large area to work with. As an example, Houston is home to over 200,000 individuals with disabilities. We prevent violence and help save lives.
Violence can occur in nursing homes.
The solution is not locking up individuals with disabilities. Rather, the community solution is to lock up those who commit acts of violence. AWOL promotes community involvement and civic responsibility. Our cause is the prevention of violence to people with disabilities. We feel people with disabilities are most at-risk.
