The COVID-19 outbreak poses significant challenges to our communities, our clients, and the staff of Disability Rights Florida (DRF). It is DRF’s goal to continue its services and protect the rights of people with disabilities during this crisis. DRF is committed to maintaining normal office operations to the extent possible while also protecting the health of clients and our staff.
Project Connect is a new 24-hour support line working to help individuals with developmental disabilities and those who care for them cope during this tough time.
The telehealth line is free and available anytime for people with disabilities, their families, caregivers and other members of their support teams across the nation.
Project Connect is available by calling 888-847-3209.
While the health and safety of persons with disabilities is of paramount concern to DRF, our expertise lies in protecting the rights and liberties of these individuals. If you or a loved one live in a facility such as a nursing home, ALF or group home and have concerns regarding care related to the COVID-19 outbreak, please continue to contact us. However, if you have general questions about how to protect yourself or your family members from the COVID-19 virus, please refer to the following expert resources:
