We are stronger together: The disability and senior communities experience abuse at much higher rates than the general population. The epidemic has grown despite media attention this past year. To date, prevention and education efforts have not made an impact, we believe it’s time to come together and work collaboratively to make significant impact. The California Foundation of Independent Living Centers, Supported Life Institute and the Board Resource Center joined together to create the “Silence = Violence” Network to address the epidemic of abuse against our seniors and people with disabilities. We want to answer the question - “Why is what we are doing now, not working?” ]]>

“Thinking Ahead - Conversations across California” is an undertaking to learn about end-of-life advance planning user-centered information and communication formats. BRC conducted a series of learning focus groups comprised of representatives from five California cities. Participants provided insight about their understanding of end-of-life advance planning, and made recommendations for user-friendly information and communication approaches. Key learning: individuals were worried about not having choices or being denied the right to decision making at the end of their lives. There was also confusion about end-of-life treatments, the authority of advance planning documents and the responsibility of healthcare agents. ]]>
