Reclaiming Safety Through Trust: Survivors and Law Enforcement

For many survivors, reaching out to law enforcement is a leap of faith. Will they be believed, or will their abuser turn the system against them? In the conclusion of our series, we explore what it takes to build that trust and ensure survivors are supported, protected and heard. We speak with Lisbet Perez, a survivor of domestic violence and longtime advocate for immigrant survivors and their families, who has spent over a decade fighting for victims' rights. We also talk to Detective Bill Hernandez with the Napa Police Department, a nationally recognized expert in intimate partner violence and strangulation investigations. With over 27 years of experience, Bill has helped develop innovative, survivor-centered approaches to domestic violence response. Lisbet and Bill share perspectives from both sides of the experience—one lived, one professional—offering candid insights on safety, accountability and the changes still needed to ensure survivors can trust law enforcement and access justice.

Young Hearts, New Hope: Healing After Abuse Through Camp HOPE America

The impact of abusive partners isn't limited to adult victims. Children who witness or experience abuse can carry long-lasting emotional scars, shame and mistrust—but providing support early can help set them on a path toward healing and a healthier future. In this third episode of our four-part series, we explore how young people can be supported through an amazing program called <a href= "https://www.allianceforhope.org/camp-hope" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Camp HOPE America</a>. We welcome on Hannah Mould, Child Trauma Specialist Coordinator at the <a href= "https://www.guilfordcountync.gov/government/departments-and-agencies/family-justice-center" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guilford County Family Justice Center</a>, to talk about <a href= "https://www.allianceforhope.org/camp-hope" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Camp HOPE America</a>, the revolutionary summer camp that gives children impacted by domestic violence and child abuse a safe space to build hope, resilience, and connection. We also hear from Questyn Hinton, who attended Camp HOPE at age 10 and has returned as a junior counselor at 18. Questyn shares how mentorship and the guidance of former campers can help children regain confidence and envision a brighter future. This episode highlights the vital role of community, support and targeted programs in helping children affected by domestic violence heal and thrive.

A Lifeline Out of Abuse: Survivors and Their Advocates

Abusive partners never make it easy for survivors to leave—after all, maintaining control is their top priority. But the civil legal system can provide a crucial lifeline. In this second episode of our four-part series, we highlight the work of Sonya Desai from the <a href= "https://www.guilfordcountync.gov/government/departments-and-agencies/family-justice-center" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Guilford County Family Justice Center</a> in Greensboro, who shares how she builds trust with survivors and helps them navigate some of the most challenging moments of their lives. We also hear from survivor Yoo Anna Lee, who turned to the Family Justice Center after escaping an abusive partner in 2018. Yoo recounts how her abuser tried to shift blame onto her—resulting in her own arrest—and how, with the help of the Center and the civil legal process, she began the long journey toward safety and healing. This episode explores the power of legal protections, advocacy, and community support in shaping a survivor's path out of abuse.
