The Parternership: Making Spokane Safe for People with Developmental Disabilities

Safety Rally
We all deserve to be safe! That's why The Partnership holds a safety rally at the STA Plaza each year promoting personal safety for people with developmental disabilities. Guest speakers, personal safety demonstrations, booths, music and prizes make this event both fun and educational.

Girl Group
The Partnership has just completed its first Eduational Support group! High school students participating in Spokane Public School's Community Images program learned important facts about anotomy, relationships and personal safety. They also had lots of fun!

Community Education
One of the goals of The Partnership is to educate people about the unique challenges that people with developmental disabilities face when it comes to sexuality and personal safety. To date, The Partnership has helped the following groups:

The Spokane County Resource Fair
People First (Spokane Conference)
The Long-term Care Ombudsman Program
The Division of Developmental Disabilities Adult Family Home Providers
The Senior Parent Support Group (The Arc of Spokane)
Aging and Long-term Care In-home Care Provider Training
The Spokane Police Department
