Victim Services for Children and Teens

We provide free, trauma-informed therapy for youth ages 3–17 who have experienced sexual abuse—offering a safe space to process, heal, and build a stronger, more hopeful future with the support of licensed professionals and caring advocates.

When a child experiences abuse, early support can change everything.

Comprehensive Support for Young Survivors

At the Children’s Center for Hope & Healing (CCHH), we understand the profound impact that sexual abuse can have on a child’s life. Our Victim Services Program is dedicated to providing no-cost, therapeutic counseling to children and teenagers aged 3 to 17 who have experienced sexual abuse.

Sessions are offered in individual, group, and family settings, allowing for a comprehensive approach to healing that involves both the child and their support system.

Evidence- based Therapy

Tailored Therapeutic Approaches

Recognizing that each child’s healing journey is unique, our licensed therapists employ a variety of evidence-based techniques, including:

Play Therapy: Utilizes play as a medium for children to express emotions and process traumatic experiences in a safe environment.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT): Addresses the emotional and psychological needs of children by helping them understand and cope with trauma-related thoughts and behaviors.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Assists in processing and integrating traumatic memories, reducing their long-lasting effects.

Family Support

Empowering Families for a Safer Future

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it begins at home. That’s why a vital part of our Victim Services Program focuses on equipping non-offending parents and caregivers with the tools, education, and encouragement they need to support their child’s recovery journey. We provide resources and coaching on how to recognize warning signs, respond with empathy, and implement effective safety strategies that reduce the risk of future harm.

Families learn how to rebuild trust, establish healthy boundaries, and foster emotional connection—all within a supportive, judgment-free environment. By strengthening families, we create a protective circle around the child—one where safety, understanding, and healing can take root and grow.

Fostering Connection Through Group Therapy

For teenagers, group therapy sessions provide a space to connect with peers who have undergone similar experiences. These sessions help adolescents realize they are not alone, fostering a sense of solidarity and shared strength that is vital for recovery.
