Learning and Equipping

RESPECT should be the common everyday experience of every person who receives support, and every employee who provides support.

The challenge is ensuring that all share a common understanding of the word “respect” within the context of the organizations where people work.

The RESPECT, Disrespect & Abuse course helps to define, describe and illustrate the differences between

1) respect and disrespect, 2) disrespect and abuse, and 3) abuse categories and examples.

Participants should expect active engagement through immersive videos, case studies and guided discussions.

While content references Karis language, the principles presented can easily be contextualized to any developmental service organization.
