Tell Someone

The 'Tell Someone' Website is aimed at educating people with a mild intellectual disability and their family and community about family violence. It clearly articulates that families come in all shapes, sizes, and types including people living in residential settings with carers. It includes plain English information and a series of videos with very clear messages from people with disability sharing their experiences.  
The Tell Someone website is located at:
