About Us
80% of health outcomes are not tied to health care — which is why we target root causes in our work to promote health equity and end domestic violence. We have carefully honed our strategies to focus on the following three areas:
Staying the course toward health equity and ending domestic violence.
For the estimated 16 million survivors of domestic/intimate partner violence and their children each year, their earthquakes happen in the shadows—creating physical and psychological trauma—or chronic PTSD. While this is well-documented and recognized, culturally, the effect of the trauma is often minimized or dismissed.
Let’s continue to dream big together.
Just like wildfire, the domestic violence crisis cannot be extinguished without the proper systems, resources and accessible workforce. In the case of domestic violence, the efforts to address, intervene and prevent intimate partner violence with complicated infrastructures and human resources are seriously lacking. The chaos caused recently by President Donald Trump’s stop on all federal grants—and the subsequent legal pause ordered by a federal judge—only highlight the urgency to maintain and enhance financial support for domestic violence victims.
