Save Lives
This page is dedicated to those disabled adults and children who were murdered by their care providers. It is a scrolling tribute, to remind us that as we are reading this list someone is being harmed by those people meant to keep them from harm. End this cycle.
Parents, Care Providers
Guard your physical and mental health. Reach out to get help
immediately if you
- are sad all-day
- are in constant fear what will happen to your disabled child if you should die
- are forgetting to eat, neglecting your disabled loved one, not caring for yourself
- are unable to control your child's SIBs or meltdowns
Family, Friends, Neighbors
Don't ignore your loved ones! Look for signs of stress, fatigue, severe depression and sleeplessness. You can help by
gifting respite care services, bringing cooked meals,
gifting maid services, and
helping find resources for aftercare, realtime family counseling and support groups, crowdfunding for in-home care provider training and supports.
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
If you are a parent or care provider and are having thoughts of suicide and need to talk, you can call 1-800-273-TALK(1-800-273-8255). This line is open
anytime 24/7.
If you are having a mental health crisis call 911 and ask for a mental health crisis team.
The National Domestic Violence Hotline
