Protect.

Prevent.

Empower.

At Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault Center, our mission is simple but powerful: to PROTECT victims, PREVENT violence, and EMPOWER survivors. 

We accomplish this by providing citizens of Rutherford County and surrounding counties with the resources and assistance necessary to effectively deal with the personal, social, and legal implications of victimization by domestic violence and sexual assault.

When you donate to the DVSA Center, it is an investment. It is an investment in the lives of those working to escape the pain, fear, and shame of domestic or sexual violence. The effects are life changing and impactful.

STATEMENT OF INCLUSIVITY

We recognize and value the diversity of our community and clients. It is our policy to be inclusive and mindful of this diversity in all of our departmental policies, programs, practices, and interactions with others. We affirm all people regardless of their age, culture, disabilities, ethnic origin, gender, gender identity, marital status, nationality, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status.

Thank You Community Partners

In honor of Valentine’s Day, Be The Love for someone healing from intimate partner violence or sexual abuse. The Be the Love campaign allows for you to donate a Valentine’s Day card, a single stem rose, or a bouquet of flowers to remind a survivor that they are being thought of and are worthy of love. 
Your donation this month will provide a meaningful message that they matter.
