Abuse and disability - More people with disabilities experience physical, sexual, and emotional abuse than the general population. We hope that this issue will help readers begin to understand the experience of abuse and to respond appropriately.
For more information on preventing abuse, find resources from Christian Reformed Safe Church Ministry, and see this article about Dove's Nest in the Anabaptist Disabilities Network newsletter.
Update (April 28, 2017): This issue of Breaking Barriers received Honorable Mention from the Associated Church Press 2017 Best of the Christian Press Awards in ACP's category "Reporting and Writing: THEME ISSUE, SECTION OR SERIES: Newspaper/Newsletter."
