We live in a society that prefers to ignore that children molest other children. Different than normal sexual play or exploration, this involves a difference in power, such as size or age, and involves coercion or force. Unfortunately, many of these young abusers are victims of sexual abuse themselves. We provide group treatment for small groups of children in the same developmental stage. Family involvement is intensive as they participate in family counseling and parent education programs.
Individual counseling is provided as appropriate.
Therapy focuses on resolving the causes for offending behavior and developing appropriate social attitudes and actions. Sexual Assault Services Sexual abuse victims are offered a continuum of care through various Crisis Center services. The Nurse Examiner Program nurses provide emergency medical examinations and are key to collection and preservation of evidence. They are prepared and qualified to testify in court. The evaluation service is provided for children to describe events that may constitute sexual abuse.
