H.E.A.R.T. Laura’s House Teen Site
In June 2005, Laura's House launched a new website designed to assist teens who are seeking information on healthy relationships.
The website is an expansion of the Healthy Emotions and Attitudes in Relationships Today (H.E.A.R.T) program that is geared for at-risk children and teens. View our H.E.A.R.T. brochure here.
By educating children on healthy relationships and appropriate conflict resolution skills, we hope to prevent violence before it starts. Workshops on healthy relationships are held at numerous middle and high schools, colleges, universities and youth facilities in the county. Book a Workshop Today! For more information contact our Prevention & Education Team at (949) 361-3775 x213 or lhteen@laurashouse.org
Laura's House is also on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Check us out and add us as your friend!
Heart Chat
Heart Chat is an online hotline that provides information, resources and referrals to teens age 12-17 with the goal of encouraging healthy dating relationships and providing support to those in abusive relationships. Heart Chat connects teens to a domestic violence advocate who can answer questions, offer relationship education, suggest safety planning tips and connect teens to a professional therapist. Text "HEART" to 949-484-8440 or send an e-mail to our domestic violence advocates at HeartChat@LaurasHouse.org and an advocate will respond.
