The SACE program offers crisis intervention, case management, counseling, and advocacy support for Temple students who have experienced sexual assault, partner violence, sexual harassment, and/or stalking during their academic career.  Our mission is to provide a supportive therapeutic space to make sense of these experiences, learn ways of coping, and help students to restore their connection to themselves and their community.

The SACE team at Tuttleman Counseling Services will support you in reviewing options which include, but are not limited to: counseling options, group support, medical examinations, police reports, and filing with Title IX, but staff will never require you to pursue these options. Choices about reporting are yours to make.

TCS is a confidential source; no details of your experience are shared with anyone unless you share that you are a danger to yourself or others, or you threaten to cause serious and specific harm to another person. Confidentiality may also be limited if you share information about abuse or neglect of a child, elderly person, or disabled individual, or in cases where there is a valid court order for the release of records.

Students who are interested in working with the SACE team can register for services via the “Getting Started” tab. If you have experienced an incident of sexual violence within the past 30 days, please utilize the “Urgent Sexual Assault Support Services” option.
