Welcome to STOP Children's Programme

The STOP Children’s Treatment Programme is for school aged children who have engaged in sexually harmful behaviour.  The aim of treatment is to help the child and their parents gain the understanding, knowledge and relevant skills to prevent further sexually harmful behaviour from occurring.  

The programme is specifically designed to provide effective intervention suitable for this age group.  While each child referred is managed on the basis of the unique circumstances involved, the general outline of the intervention process involves:    

• A four-week assessment phase.  For more information click here What happens after a referral has been accepted?  A fifteen-week treatment programme (assessed as necessary following assessment) involving individual and  family counselling.  For more information click here Overview of the Children's Treatment Programme   It is our hope to identify and intervene with the sexually harmful behaviour early on to prevent the development of further serious sexually harmful behaviour.
