Goals

As a centre we strive to:

• Reduce the incidence of interpersonal abuse and minimize the associated trauma in order to improve the lives of those we serve.

• Provide assessment, treatment and support services to families and children three to 18 years old who have experienced interpersonal abuse.

• Provide treatment, assessment and support services to adolescents who have sexually offended and to children displaying problematic sexualized behaviors.

• Provide clinical training and education in the assessment and treatment of interpersonal abuse to clinicians and other helping professionals.

Although we may not be able to change the fact that the abuse happened, it is our goal to restore peace, balance, comfort, harmony, and a sense of safety and security in the lives of those who have experienced sexual abuse.
