Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Chrysalis Center program treats children with sexual behavior problems throufh group therapy, the most effective treatment modality for children with sexual behaviors.  The challenges of transporting these children to and from group therapy is a significant barrier to successful treatment.

 

Children with sexual behavior problems who go untreated are a significantly higher risk of continuing their behavior and sexually victimizing other children.  This is a public safety issue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
