WHO WE ARE
Message From Our CEO
Because of your faithful support of RealOptions in 2022 you helped us safeguard over 5800 individual lives of women, men, children, and students through our five medical clinics and outreach programs. While some businesses and nonprofits were pulling back, we actually grew 12% in the number of people impacted over last year! We were able to accomplish this by:
- Launching a LiveChat feature through our website to extend our reach to millennials and GenZ'ers, increasing patient interactions.
- Increasing the number of hours we teach students in local schools to go deeper and impart REAL life change.
- By providing bilingual pregnancy loss healing retreats to reach Hispanic Communities in the Bay Area.
RealOptions teaches Sexual Risk Avoidance and relationship skills to youth between 5th and 12th grade through our Optimal Health curriculum and equips parents throughout the year offering parent webinars, parent teaching nights, and quarterly newsletters. Our heart for parents is to equip them to reclaim parenthood, raise strong children, and build healthy communities with local churches, schools, and community based organizations. We are passionate about equipping students to help them make healthy lifestyle choices and empowering them with effective relationship and risk avoidance skills.
Our education efforts are thriving and we were able to teach over 2300 students and parents this year, and invested over 21,000 hours of student impact! Our team is working diligently to execute our newly awarded, Title V, Sexual Risk Avoidance Education grant. This two year Award has widened our reach to local students for Optimal Health Education. It has also afforded us the opportunity to have not only our Educators, but our Nurses and Patient Advocates certified as Optimal Health Coaches and to use this science based curriculum in our clinics as well as local schools and youth groups.
I invite you to join me for a tour of one of our facilities. Please contact me by phone at 408.229.9836 or email at Valerie@realoptions.net to schedule a tour or meeting. We are truly grateful for your support through volunteering and giving!
