January is Stalking Awareness Month, and new research from Harvard is changing the conversation. A long-term study shows women who experience stalking face a dramatically higher risk of heart disease, turning stalking into a serious public health issue. In this Featured Segment with KFI's Heather Brooker, we talk with Maricela Rio-Faust, CEO of Human Options, about why trauma shows up in the body, how stalking escalates intimate partner violence, and why survivors need medical and trauma-informed medical support, not just legal protection.
