make time for knowledge
When your ability to see, or hear is reduced or eliminated, when your mobility is reduced or eliminated, you are more at-risk for violence than your non-disabled peers, because your ability to know who is in your environment by sight or sound, or to escape your environment is reduced or eliminated.
To compound the problem, even the ability to accurately describe what occurred is in jeopardy, because of the disability.
Our purpose is the prevention of violence to people with disabilities.
We believe violence prevention and quality of life issues wrap-around each other to form social solutions that benefit the individual and the community.
Disability can happen to anyone, and it can happen in the blink of an eye. It's equal opportunity, which is why All Walks Of Life is comprised of people with and without a disability.
If disability occurs from an act of violence, vehicle or work place accident, or progressively occur through disease or illness, or at birth, your life and the lives of people you are close to, will change dramatically if your cognitive or physical life skills are reduced or eliminated.
This vulnerability is acute, and in many cases progressive. It is a reality that is difficult to describe and the driving force for the creation of All Walks Of Life in 1998, and the deployment of this web site.
it's about awareness, education, and prevention...
These form the basis of our Solutions. Solutions that bred hope, coupled with determination to live life as independent from the fear of violence as anyone else!
