Individual Counseling
Individual Counseling is available for victims of domestic violence in order to increase their awareness of the violence in their lives, to empower and strengthen their sense of self, and to correct their ill patterns of behavior associated and caused by domestic violence.  There is a charge of $35 per session.  Children are free for parents that attend any of the support groups on a continual basis.

Support Groups
A Support Group is a form of therapy used for victims of domestic violence as a way to help men, women, teens, and children change their behavior in order to bring peace and healing to violent families. Support groups are a therapeutically effective way for victims to develop a support system. For more information on individual support groups, click here.

Crisis Intervention and Hotline
The 24/7 Crisis Intervention and Hotline provides individuals with a feeling of safety, knowing that they have someone to talk to at any time during the day or night. In addition, it is a way to quickly bring maximum resources to bear on the crisis situation.

Domestic Violence Prevention Education
Domestic Violence Prevention Education includes presentations to schools, churches, and other organizations, appearances on radio and TV channels, and bi-weekly columns written by our Program director in “Semana” magazine.  These educational presentations are meant to heighten everyone’s awareness about domestic violence and encourage victims to come in for help.

Classes, Workshops, and Enrichment
Classes, Workshops and Enrichment activities provide parenting, health, financial, leadership, and cultural educational programs.  They are offered once a month for support group participants.  Please look for more workshops to come in the future.

Back to School Drive
La Rosa's Back to School Drive is the largest program of the year.  It includes providing over 1500 backpacks full of school supplies and over 1000 bags of groceries to some of the neediest families in Houston free of charge.  In 2008, we plan to include a uniform distribution for these families.

Christmas Toy Distribution and Adopt a Family Program
The Christmas Toy Distribution and the Adopt a Family programs occur during the month of December.  It is a time when La Rosa holds heart warming programs that involves giving toys to over 300 children in the Houston area.  La Rosa also provides them with a day full of fun at a children's festival.  In addition, this program includes companies that adopt over 25 families considered by HISD to be some of the neediest in the Houston area.  Sponsors provide as many items as possible from the families' Christmas wish lists, including many items donated by their corporate sponsors.
