According to @OhioDVN's recent economic impact report, intimate partner violence costs Ohio nearly $1.2 billion annually. With this number in mind, we know that the impact from any loss of life cannot be reflected in a report and is immeasurable to loved ones and the community.

“Going to CHOICES saved my life,” Anna admitted. “I felt safe there. They taught me so much about myself. I was selling myself short. Now I know I can do anything that I put my mind to. Before, I never felt strong. Now, I feel like I am getting stronger every day.”
