Story
Strength United's mission is ending abuse, empowering families and developing leaders. Their clients are women, men and children, over 15,000 a year, that have been affected by domestic violence, sexual assault or child maltreatment. 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men in the United States experience domestic violence or sexual assault in their lifetimes. The CDC has now reported that this is a national crisis and yet we don't talk about it enough. Strength United does. It is the only Family Justice Center in Los Angeles and was identified by the U.S. Department of Justice as a best practice for intervention and prevention of domestic violence. All of Strength United's services are free because of generous community support and so we want to make sure it stays this way for generations to come.
