Safety

We all want the people we care about to be happy and safe. What does this mean in practice for ACSYL? We like the way Ted Kuntz expresses it: "safety and security is dependent upon the number of relationships a person has. The more relationships, the safer they are. The fewer relationships, the more vulnerable they are."

The father of a profoundly disabled son, Ted joined PLAN (Planned Lifetime Advocacy Network) in Canada in the 1990s and is currently Chair of its Board of Directors.

ACSYL's entire journey has been inspired by PLAN's vision of caring relationships as the key to safety, security and a good life.
