Abstract

Addressing cases of sexually abusive youth can be challenging and the challenge is compounded when the abuse has occurred within the family. While this workshop will provide an overview of sibling sexual abuse, the main focus will be the question of should the youth be removed from the home and if and when is reunification appropriate. This session will review of guidelines for reconciliation and reunification utilizing a continuum approach.
