To you, our Human Options donor community, our accomplishments L

What Sets Human Options Apart?

33 years of Safety, Healing and A Way ForwardL

33 years of Innovative Partnerships and Programs

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & THE HEALTH COMMUNITY

We continue to help develop strategies for identifying and referring patients in need of domestic violence programs, in partnership with the Orange County Women’s Health Project. We specifically created a new training program for Kaiser and Hoag doctors, nurses and professionals.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & THE LEGAL COMMUNITY

We are expanding our legal advocacy program, recruiting and training more pro bono lawyers and doubling the amount of clients served. We broadened our education around victim rights, helping women obtain restraining orders and preventing their landlords from evicting them in domestic violence cases.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & HOMELESSNESS

Because approximately 75% of homeless women and children have experienced domestic violence, we have become an active partner in the multi-agency effort to end homelessness in Orange County. As part of the countywide ten-year plan, we are ensuring that safety and healing are included in the strategies developed to help people achieve permanent housing.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & TRAUMA

With the support of two significant family foundations, we have deepened and expanded our therapy programs. Research proves that children who grow up around domestic violence have permanently elevated levels of stress that limits their ability to learn, play, and do well in social situations. Our new intervention programs are giving these children a second chance.

Your investment has allowed us to make an impact in the key areas outlined above helping victims escape domestic violence. With your support, we continue to create change every day.

We remain guided by the vision of a world where no woman or child has to be afraid in their own home. Thank you for your shared belief in this vision.

“Katy and I believe if you save the children you can break the cycle. That has been at the root of our commitment to Human Options’ children’s program from the beginning. That is why when Human Options came to us with an idea for a program that could help those children exposed to domestic violence recover and break the cycle, we chose to seed it.”

~ Jack Schoellerman Schoellerman Foundation Human Options Past Board President

A Way Forward from Trauma LWhen two year old Maddie first arrived at our emergency shelter, she showed no emotions and wouldn’t talk to anyone. Spending her first two years of life in a constant state of chaos, she suffered from severe developmental, emotional and behavioral problems. Sadly, this is not uncommon.

Domestic violence has a tremendous impact on brain development. From delayed verbal and motor skills, anxiety and depression, to difficulty identifying and expressing emotions, the effects of trauma can be deep rooted and long lasting in young children. Fortunately, Human Options has been working to implement new interventions to help children like her.

Our program promotes resilience and strengthens children’s ability to cope with their exposure to violence, improves the mother’s emotional state and her parenting skills, and enhances parent-child communication and bonding. Today, Maddie is barely recognizable from the child that entered our shelter. Maddie and her mom, and families like theirs, have the chance for a much brighter future. And this is just one family. With this program, 83% of children have exhibited an increase in positive social interactions with peers and 93% of mothers have described a decrease in levels of anxiety.

A recent investment from the Argyros Family Foundation has allowed us to expand and launch the Argyros Children’s Initiative, which will further increase our capacity around new therapeutic interventions in our children’s programs and strengthen our legal services.

One in every three phone calls reporting domestic violence to

911 in Orange County is made by a child.~ Orange County

Domestic Violence Court

“We won. I got my restraining order. Before the hearing, I was extremely afraid. I was nervous. I felt stuck. Once the judge made his ruling, I felt like I was ready for the next step. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt like I could breathe again. It was all behind me.”

~ Jane, Emergency Shelter client

Jane attempted to get a temporary restraining order on her own and was denied. She was devastated. We were able to pair her up with a team of attorneys from Troutman Sanders who represented her and helped her win. She finally felt safe.

Safety Through Legal Advocacy LPro bono lawyers make a big difference in helping victims feel safe. Often unaware of their rights, lacking resources, and facing various barriers in obtaining legal assistance, victims seldom know where to turn.

Our legal advocacy program provides support obtaining restraining orders, filing police reports, getting property returned, accompanying victims to court, and even helping with employers and landlords.

We continue to grow our pool of pro bono counsel. This past year, we expanded upon our partnership with firms like Troutman Sanders. Through a pilot program, we trained their lawyers in the nuances of working with domestic violence victims in a shelter setting and now they are offering legal assistance to our clients.

Boys who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their own partners and children when they are adults.

~ The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence

Healing Through Art LBy the time 15 year old Thomas entered our emergency shelter with his mom, he had already experienced a childhood filled with fear and violence. Living in “survival mode,” he turned to drugs and alcohol and rarely attended school. It is often difficult for survivors of domestic violence to verbalize their feelings, but art can be a powerful therapeutic tool.

Through art therapy, Thomas had a safe place to express his anger, sadness, confusion and frustration. He worked with our staff to identify his feelings when he entered the shelter (top picture) and his hope for the future (lower picture). His art depicted feelings of loneliness and rage, but his second picture showed him smiling in the sun as he graduated high school. He described this as the light at the end of the tunnel.

This art project was the start of his healing and the first step in breaking the cycle of violence. Throughout his thirty days at the shelter, Thomas enrolled in a new school and continued to use art as a way to heal.

The number of lives changed because you cared. 24-Hour Hotline L 3,489 people received crisis intervention, guidance, and support.

Emergency Shelter L 342 women and children received a safe place to call home, therapy, advocacy and a way forward.

Safe Options for Seniors L 134 men and women age 50+ received counseling, legal advocacy and help escaping abuse.

Transitional Housing L 105 families had safe housing, counseling, vocational guidance, and support becoming self-sufficient.

Center for Children & Families L 740 people received counseling, support, and references for additional services.

Community Education L More than 10,000 people in Orange County learned about domestic violence awareness and prevention.

Together We are Part of the Solution

Our Community Education program actively engages Orange County residents and institutions in reducing and preventing domestic violence. We place an especially high priority on educating youth groups, reaching thousands of students each year. In addition, our educators speak to key community groups and organizations including police departments, healthcare professionals, social service agencies and faith groups.

Through this program, we educate more than 10,000 people a year about the cycle of domestic violence and a way forward to a safer tomorrow.

Love Is Not Supposed to HurtThrough a one-time presentation conducted at local middle and high schools, we talk about prevention, warning signs, where to get help if needed and how to leave an abusive relationship.

Safe DatesThrough a 10-week series for teens ages 13-17, we teach adolescents about relationships, healthy communications, boundaries, cyber bullying, and stress management.

We serve thousands of students through these programs, reaching middle and high schools in Anaheim, Tustin, Santa Ana, Huntington Beach, Fullerton, Mission Viejo, Irvine, Newport Beach and Corona Del Mar.

“When Kaiser Permanente had the

opportunity to partner with Human Options, there was no hesitation.

Through our partnership, we have developed a screening program in

our ob-gyn offices that provides early intervention for our members

experiencing domestic violence during pregnancy, a very dangerous time for

both mother and unborn child.”
