CHOICES, CHILD

Choices, Child and Adolescent Services has adopted a holistic approach to the treatment of youth with sexually problematic behaviours. We offer a combination of individual, group, and family therapy along with specialized academic programming and skills training. Our philosophy is that sexual abuse is a symptom of dysfunction in a child or youth's life. As a result, the child or youth must develop an understanding of their behaviour patterns, and learn socially acceptable ways of coping, and relating to others. Our goal is to empower youth to lead non-abusive lives by providing learning experiences that will help them develop healthy attitudes about themselves, their families and their communities... At the Choices Program, we take a holistic approach to the treatment of youth who have sexually abusive behaviours, which means we treat the whole person, not focus just on the sexually intrusive behaviours.
