Abstract

Poly-victimization refers to experiencing multiple different types of victimization and has been found to have particularly damaging effects on child mental health. Recent research has found that children with disabilities are at substantially greater risk of experiencing poly-victimization. This webinar will describe how poly-victimization is associated with different types of childhood disability and discuss its implications for professionals who work with children and youth with disabilities.
