When sexual abuse committed by a youth within a family context occurs, there are unique issues. Having both the child who has harmed and the child who has been harmed receiving service at the same agency is ideal, but not required. It is important to take a holistic and family centered approach to repairing all the relationships that have been ruptured because of the sexual abuse. The first workshop is open to all those who work with youth and have an interest in understanding sibling sexual abuse. For those who will be providing direct service to children and youth in a family context, we encourage taking the entire series (1 through 2).
