Due to the high levels of stress and trauma that many survivors of domestic violence face, our advocates support and encourage participants to incorporate self-care techniques into their daily lives. Survivors of abuse are often told they are undeserving and have had very few opportunities to take care of themselves and their children in ways they deserve. There are many useful materials that support survivors to practice self-care. Here is a list of supplies that can be collected and assembled into self-care kits for our advocates to give to participants:
- Essential oils for aromatherapy
- Scented candles or incense
- Yoga mats
- Yoga, zumba, or dance passes or DVDs
- Stress balls
- Fidget rings or tactile jewelry
- Coloring books and supplies
- Painting canvas and paints
- Journals
- Crochet hooks/Knitting needles and yarn
- Other craft supplies
- Shopping giftcards
- Perfume
- Make-up
- Nail polish
- Spa giftcards or kits

Mission Statement
Our mission is to mobilize Latinas and Latino communities to end domestic violence.
Description
Casa de Esperanza's roots are deep in Latino communities. Founded more than twenty years ago, our organization has developed and strengthened since its establishment as a shelter for battered Latinas. We have matured and transformed because of a brave, innovative spirit and responsiveness to Latinas. Today we are a Latina agency that is grounded in commitment to our communities and to ending domestic violence. The organization has grown to become the largest Latina organization in the country focused on domestic violence. Casa de Esperanza is also committed to becoming a greater resource to organizations and communities in the areas of sexual assault and trafficking.
Casa de Esperanza’s leadership in the field has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which has designated the organization as the Culturally Specific Issue Resource Center on Domestic Violence and Latin@ Communities.
Casa de Esperanza has expanded to offer critical, innovative services and support, ranging from family advocacy, and shelter services to leadership development and community engagement opportunities for Latin@ youth, women and men. Throughout all of our prevention and intervention initiatives we place community at the center, thus we incorporate intentional community listening and engagement strategies to ensure we are guided by our communities.
