Sexual abuse isn’t something anyone really wants to talk about. When a young person experiences sexual abuse, it can have a profound effect on his/her feelings and relationships.
Relationships with family and friends, with school and the community can change – and sometimes feels like nothing in the world will ever be OK again.
Marymound helps young people overcome the effects of sexual abuse. We also provide short-term therapy for young people who are sexually reactive after experiencing abuse.
Marymound’s Sexual Abuse Treatment Program (SATP) is located in a welcoming and safe setting.
Our therapists are specially trained in the treatment of sexual trauma. They do a comprehensive assessment that takes into consideration the family, cultural and social influences that have an impact on a young person. Therapists provide individualized treatment plans with a variety of modalities, such as psychoeducation, play therapy, emotion regulation, individual, group and family therapy.
All services are provided in a confidential manner to protect the privacy of individuals and families.
the parent or primary caregiver is willing to be involved in the young person’s treatment.
At the Sexual Abuse Treatment Program we do an assessment that uses an ecological perspective. We view the child’s life as much larger than that of a victim of sexual abuse. Family, culture and community all impact a young person’s identity as well as their inner thoughts and feelings. SATP supports participants to discover strengths in these areas. We also work to resolve troubling symptoms young people may experience and provide education about the impact of traumatic abuse.
A family/caregiver is recognized as having a significant positive impact on resolving sexual abuse. Families are supported to recognize the strengths within their relationships that support healing and wholeness which can reduce stigma, enhance family esteem, and promote optimism for the future.
SATP recognizes the intrinsic strengths of children who have survived sexual abuse. We use many therapeutic methods to engage the child’s feelings, cognitions and senses in their healing journey.
