Sexual Abuse Treatment Program

The Department of Health Children's Medical Services Sexual Abuse Treatment Program (SATP) provides a statewide comprehensive, community-based, family-centered treatment system for assisting families who have experienced sexual abuse. A combination of group, family and individual counseling for child sexual abuse survivors and their families is provided to reduce the trauma caused by the child sexual victimization, assist the family to recover from the victimization, prevent further child sexual victimization from occurring and enable families to have healthy, non-abusive relationships.

Chapter 39.305, Florida Statutes, requires the development of a model plan for community intervention and treatment of intrafamilial sexual abuse in conjunction with the Departments of Health, Children and Families, Law Enforcement, Education, and Corrections; the Attorney General, the State Guardian Ad Litem Program, representatives of the judiciary, and professionals and advocates from the mental health and child welfare communities.
