It Ends With Us, a movie adaptation based on Colleen Hoover's novel, has hit the big screens and we want to best prepare any victim or survivor of relationship violence, and potential viewers about the film prior to watching. It Ends With Us is not just another "romantic drama" story. This film is a driven catalyst to the introduction of discussions surrounding domestic violence. It is crucial for viewers to recognize that Lily Bloom's story depicts similar lived experiences that victims and survivors often face. If you or someone you know needs support, we are here to help. Please call our hotline at 877-854-3594. You are not alone. #Itendswithus #colleenhoover #domesticviolence #humanoptions #endthecycle #relationshipviolence

Teens are heading back to school and it’s time to start talking about their relationships. With no help of media, toxic and unhealthy relationships are being romanticized, and for teens who live off of social media and media platforms, we are doomed. Its time to stop dismissing youth’s experiences and its time to start introducing them to what abuse looks like in their relationships. As a survivor of teen dating violence, this issue is real and it is an epidemic to say the least. So, parents, start the discussion with your teens. Educators and school administrators, please consider inviting a domestic violence agency onto your campus to educate your students on teen dating violence (email our agency at [email protected]). For everyone else, share resources and educational post with friends, loved ones, and family. It takes a community to address and prevent teens from experiencing abuse in their relationships. #endthecycle #teendatingviolence
To continue our Back-To-School series, today we are emphasizing the alarming number of high school teens who are physically abused each year by a dating partner. Physical abuse is direct body harm however, physical abuse also looks like damage that is done to a victim's private property (i.e. cell phone, pet, automobile vehicle, and home). 🚘 📱 If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, our 24/7 hotline is available as a resource. Please call 877-854-3594. #teendatingviolence #abuse #orangecounty #humanoptions
