About Us

Our roots are strong. And our future is even stronger.

In April 2008, two outstanding and respected organizations – Brewster Center Domestic Violence Services (founded in 1963) and Tucson Centers for Women and Children (established in 1975) – came together to form Emerge! Center Against Domestic Abuse. Emerge!, the largest domestic abuse shelter and provider of domestic abuse prevention services and programs in Southern Arizona, includes:

  • Four emergency shelters
  • Three housing programs
  • Two outreach and advocacy centers
  • An accredited community-based childcare center that is open to the public
  • Prevention, education, and volunteer programs

We’re committed to improving and expanding services to all members of our community who are experiencing domestic abuse in their lives.
