This week on the Disabilities Beat, we look to an independent living center in Chicago for perspective on what disabled survivors of gun violence are experiencing and need from their communities. WBFO’s Emyle Watkins speaks with Candace Coleman, who runs the Survivors of Firearm/Gun Violence Project at Access Living. The project has held listening sessions with survivors over the past 18 months to better understand what survivors need. These sessions have also connected peers, helped Access Living better tailor their services, and allowed Access Living to create an initial report with results that can help other organizations and communities.
