At PBWest we provide a range of services to help children, young people and their families to heal and move forward after being impacted by child sexual abuse.
The Supportive Protective Behaviours Education Program (SEP) developed by PB West utilises an outreach model of “psycho social -edu-therapy”—a blend of educational and therapeutic interventions focused on teaching children and young people who may be displaying harmful sexualised behaviours (aged 3–18) Protective Behaviours, safety planning, help seeking, recognition, replacement, and resilience-building skills.
This model is delivered one-on-one in locations where the child or young person feels safest, such as their school, home, or a trusted community center, rather than requiring them to attend a clinical office. Sessions (typically 5–12 weeks, 1.5 hours per session. and tailored to the individual’s interests and pace to avoid re-traumatisation, particularly for those who have displayed harmful sexual behaviours
The SEP for children with HSB aims to help individuals understand, manage, and change harmful sexualised behaviours.
Key aspects of our Edu-therapy for harmful sexual behaviour involve:
Edu-therapy can be very successful in assisting children and young people to recognise and acknowledge harmful behaviours and take responsibility for implementing change.
