HUMAN OPTIONS HOSTS ANNUAL FALL LUNCHEON

09.21.18

Human Options will host its annual Fall Luncheon, UnSelfie: Raising Kind and Resilient Leaders, on Thursday, October 4 at The Westin South Coast Plaza to help educate and raise awareness about domestic violence. The event, held during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, will bring the community together to raise critical funds for Human Options’ domestic violence programs including a 24-hour hotline, emergency shelter, transitional housing, counseling program, legal advocacy and community education.

The luncheon will feature keynote speaker Dr. Michele Borba, an award-winning author and world-renowned child development and parenting expert. Her latest book, “UnSelfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World”, dispels the myth that grades, scores and IQ are the quickest road to achievement and happiness. Instead, the “Empathy Advantage” and the skills it ignites, are the true qualities needed to succeed in school, the workplace and relationships. Dr. Borba is a regular NBC contributor appearing 135 times on the TODAY show as well as The Early Show, Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, The View, Fox News, and CNN.

Human Options reached more than 20,000 community members through education and prevention last year, provided over 480 individuals and families with a safe home through the emergency shelter and transitional housing program, served 1,400 individuals through community-based programs, and responded to more than 6,500 callers providing immediate crisis support, information and referrals through the 24-hour hotline. 

Tickets to the luncheon start at $195. Sponsorship opportunities begin at $3,250. Click here to learn more.
