TESSA is working to raise awareness about the issue. And itâs a much bigger issue than you may think.
â1 in 3 teens has experienced some type of abuse, whether thatâs physical, sexual, or emotional abuse,â Meghan McHugh, Youth and Childrenâs Program Manager said.
TESSA works to help all victims of domestic violence, sex assault, stalking, and human trafficking in El Paso and Teller Counties. They provide shelter with a 34-bed safe house, access to legal support and advocates, and have a 24/7 Safeline that victims can call.
February is National Teen Dating Violence Awareness and Prevention Month
