THESE ASSESSMENTS AND INTERVIEWS ARE USED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO DETERMINE THE NEXT LEGAL AND DOMESTIC ACTIONS NEEDED TO KEEP THE CHILD SAFE. IN 1986, CPC DEVELOPED THE SEXUAL ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAM (SATP) TO PROVIDE PSYCHOTHERAPY FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SUFFERING FROM THE TRAUMAS OF ABUSE. IN 1991, CPT AND SATP SERVICES WERE EXTENDED TO CHILDREN ABUSED BY A NON-CAREGIVER, A POPULATION PREVIOUSLY UNDERSERVED. IN FISCAL YEAR 2019, THE SEXUAL ABUSE TREATMENT PROGRAM STAFF PROVIDED 3,878 INDIVIDUAL, GROUP AND FAMILY COUNSELING HOURS TO 310 UNDUPLICATED CLIENTS WHO WERE VICTIMS OF ABUSE OR FAMILY MEMBERS DEALING WITH THE ABUSE TRAUMA. THERAPISTS WORK TO REDUCE THE TRAUMA CAUSED BY THE CHILD SEXUAL OR PHYSICAL VICTIMIZATION, TO ASSIST THE FAMILY TO RECOVER, AND PREVENT FURTHER VICTIMIZATION FROM OCCURRING.

THESE VISITS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE CRUCIAL TO A CHILD'S MENTAL HEALTH AND ABILITY TO BUILD A HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR NON-CUSTODIAL PARENT. MORE THAN 70 SARASOTA COUNTY CITIZENS SERVE AS SVP VOLUNTEERS, WHICH HELPS KEEP PROGRAM COSTS DOWN.
