Personal Safety Education for Children with Different Abilities

Rural Response for Healthy Children recognizes that children with different abilities are often particularly vulnerable to abuse. The organization is working to change this reality in Huron County.

"No community has ever been built on the needs and problems of its people.
It has always been built on their gifts and capacities and the use of assets that are there."
