Clinical success – Individual and family relationships.
A family was referred for clinical care after sexual abuse in the home. Several years of individual treatment, family therapy, understanding, commitment, and hard work led to a reunited family committed to healthy communication, trust, and a safe home for the whole family.
Organizational Change
After consultation with a youth serving organization to strengthen policies and practices to prevent child sexual abuse, a training was given to staff to educate about abuse warning signs and prevention of child sexual abuse. After the training a child care staff person witnessed unusual behavior by a man in a park. The staff person was more aware of the potential for abuse and contacted park police.
System Transformation
Consulting with a corrections agency to create a unique case management system.
Training for statewide agency
A full day of group therapy skills training was provided to a multi disciplinary audience. Two clinicians applied the skills they learned in their therapy groups the following week. They found the group to be more engaged and the experience more fulfilling for them as clinicians.
Program Innovation
Programs that were created to meet specific needs of individuals or institutions:
- A program was created for a faith community to provide accountability and care for men in religious life who had sexual behavior problems.
- A brief program for men who use prostitutes was created to address an unmet need in the criminal justice system.
