Healing: A Program for Youth with Sexual Behavior Problems, their Victims and Families

This program is a collaboration between OJJDP and the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART), and is authorized by the Missing Childrens Assistance Act, 42 USC § 5773, and 42 USC 13941. The Children's Institute will use OJJDP continuation funding to operate a comprehensive program to treat youth with Sexual Behavior Problems, their victims, and parents/caregivers in the South Los Angeles County region. This program is designed to reduce the frequency of sexual behavior problems in youth aged 10-14 years, to reduce the traumatic impact of sexual abuse on the victim, and provide parents and caregivers the information needed to create safe homes.
