IGNITING SOCIAL CHANGE

WITH AWARENESS COMES ACTION

On October 20, supporters of Human Options and their friends joined us for our annual Fall Luncheon where we heard stories by survivors of relationship violence and were reminded that we are never done spreading the word and raising awareness about this issue that can impact anyone. Nancy came to the U.S. from Mexico, spoke limited English and eventually found herself in an abusive relationship with her husband and was living in a state of fear.

COSTA MESA BRINGS THE CITY TOGETHER TO SHOW SUPPORT

FOR VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime. To shine a light on this staggering number, we hosted our first ever Walking Vigil, with the City of Costa Mesa and Costa Mesa Police Department at Lions Park in Costa Mesa where we brought the community together to #SHINETHELIGHT on the lives of those affected by domestic violence and how they can find a way out.

SEE THE LIGHT

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

CAN AFFECT ANYONE


You may believe that leaving an abusive relationship is the end of living in fear for victims and their children. You may even believe that the glamorous lifestyle of a woman on your television screen could not be a woman who has and is experiencing life threatening abuse. Taylor Armstrong - author, reality TV star, mother, and domestic violence survivor debunks both these beliefs as she shares how the vivid memory of abuse as that two-year-old girl impacted relationships.
