Provided by Comox Valley Family Services Association
Services for children ages 3-18 who have been sexually abused or assaulted and children ages 3-12 with sexual behaviour problems.
Comox Valley Family Services provides a range of appropriate, therapeutic and educative treatment and/or support services to children and youth ages 3 -18 (up to their 19th birthday) who have been sexually abused, and to children under the age of 12 with sexual acting out behaviours.
Treatment may include individual counselling and/or family support depending on the needs of the young person, to facilitate healing within the family system. Intervention methods are strength-based and child-focused, using a variety of expressive therapies and counselling approaches. Art and play therapy may be used and children may be taught safety skills as necessary.
Services are free. SAIP is staffed by two (2) part-time clinical counsellors with specialized training and experience. Services are sensitive and responsive to cultural differences.
At times the program may do small presentations in the community covering topics related to sexual abuse such as safety, secrets, communication, boundaries and emotions.
