Child Sexual Abuse Treatment Program (CSATP) ChildSafe's comprehensive Child Sexual Abuse Treatment program was developed to repair the damage done to young victims and their families. This is our largest program, serving 70-90% of our clients. The goal is to replace feelings of helplessness, shame, guilt, and anger with feelings of empowerment, strength, safety, and protection. Our program is outpatient and serves victims ages 2-18 and their families. Treatments are a combination of individual, group, and family therapy. Group therapy has proven very effective for most of our clients. Separate female and male groups are available for child and adolescent victims, as well as their siblings and parents/guardians. See the Therapy groups page for more details. Where appropriate, we also offer play therapy and EMDR (a technique for coping with distressing memories). 
Our program has generally been very successful in overcoming the effects of abuse, and families feel we've thrown them a lifeline. For some examples of our results, see ChildSafe success stories and Quotes about ChildSafe.We caution parents that it can often take years to recover from sexual victimization. It's not unusual for children to end therapy during one stage of development only to need a "tune-up" years later. However, we assure our clients that we'll be available in the future to offer consultation or therapy if needed. ChildSafe is a nonprofit agency. We accept Victim Compensation, health insurance, and private pay. A sliding scale based on income is available. For information on how to register, and what happens when you sign up, see Getting started with our program or call our Clinical Director, Val Macri-Lind, at (970) 472-4133, Ext. 202. |
