About TESSA

TESSA’s mission is to help women, men, and their children achieve safety and wellbeing while challenging communities to end sexual and family violence.

TESSA was established in May 1977 in response to a high rate of calls to local law enforcement from women threatened or assaulted by their partners. At the time, Domestic Violence was considered a private matter and resources were difficult to locate, if they existed at all. With assistance from within the legal and philanthropic communities TESSA ermerged as an information provider and resource referral service. Fundamentally, we do three things:

• Provide immediate safety at our confidential Safehouse for women, men, and children escaping stalking or abuse.
• Empower survivors through programs and support such as Advocacy and Counseling.
• Create a safer future through Education and Outreach to schools, businesses, and other organizations.
