Children with Problematic Sexual Behavior: Recommendations for the MDT and CAC Response

DESCRIPTION: Cases of children ages 12 and younger with problematic sexual behavior (PSB) can present a myriad of challenges for MDTs and CACs. Fortunately, the MDT approach and the CAC model are ideal vehicles for development and implementation of an integrated and comprehensive systems approach to cases of children with PSB, recipient children, and their families.  This course will review recommendations designed to guide and support MDTs and CACs to enhance current practices, improve professional response, and promote positive outcomes for children with PSB, children impacted by the PSB, and their families.

Participants should have an understanding of children’s sexual behaviors and the dynamics of these cases for this workshop.

OBJECTIVES: As a result of this workshop, participants will be able to…

1. Identify four areas in which MDTs and CACs can enhance professional response to children with PSB and their families.
2. Learn how to use assessment and treatment to support an integrated response to cases of children with PSB by MDTs and CACs.
3. Share available resources that support MDTs and CACs to provide a comprehensive response to children with PSB, recipient children, and their families.
