About Us
Since 1979, Tu Casa has helped thousands of women and children secure their right to be safe. Tu Casa is the sole provider of comprehensive direct services to domestic violence and sexual assault victims and their families in the San Luis Valley (SLV). Our clients are primarily women and their children. Since our inception our focus is to empower victims and children by educating them and the community-at-large about domestic violence and sexual assault and increase the awareness of the problem. Training addresses the special problems of victims of domestic violence and sexual assault and is offered to law enforcement, court personnel, emergency room staff, and children in the schools.
Tu Casa’s model prevention education program is offered to all 14 school districts. We have built on-going relationships with many of the other service agencies in the area through the SLV Anti-Violence Council commencing in 1996. We continue to cultivate our relationships with law enforcement, courts, departments of social services, medical clinics, Colorado Legal Services, SLV Immigrant Resource Center to provide a continuum of service to our clients.
