Abstract

TESSA plays a crucial role in bridging gaps in access to resources and support services for victims of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). While the organization primarily serves white adults, this report investigates if the frequencies of services significantly differ among youth/adults, dependent/client youth, and non-white/white clients. Existing literature confirms the prominent distinctions between IPV and Teen Dating Violence (TDV) and emphasizes the need for comprehensive support systems tailored to the specific needs of young survivors and youth affected by familial violence. Through analysis of TESSA services from three service categories (victim services, financial assistance, and external referral), the findings in this report contribute to understanding how youth are served at TESSA and underscore the importance of considering age, client classifications, and other demographic factors when implementing such services.
