Sexual Abuse Intervention Program

North Coast Transition Society is a feminist non-profit organization that provides services and programs for women and children survivors of violence. The Society publicly addresses issues of violence, homelessness, poverty, addictions and social justice.

The specific objectives of sexual abuse intervention services are to:

• alleviate psycho-social impairment and/or trauma-related symptoms in children and youth who have experienced sexual abuse
• reduce the likelihood of adverse long-term consequences of child sexual abuse trauma (e.g., depression, substance misuse, etc.)
• manage or reduce problematic behaviours and inappropriate sexual behaviour problems
• provide specialized treatment services to children with special needs (e.g., children with disabilities) who have been sexually abused
• assist non-offending family members and significant others in supporting the child/youth victim of sexual abuse
• instill knowledge and skills that reduce the likelihood of future incidents of sexual abuse
• assist the child and/or caregivers to develop an understanding of healthy sexuality
• as resources permit, build capacity to educate the public and the community on the prevention and early detection of child sexual abuse
