Sibling sexual abuse and harmful sexual behavior is argued to be the most common form of intra-familial sexual abuse. These interactions within a family are complex and often involve multiple professional disciplines, from the initial assessment through treatment of the individuals involved and the family unit. Child welfare professionals can play an influential role in safety planning, successful case resolution, and facilitating discussions around well-being and family cooperation.
To assist practitioners in examining this subcategory of child sexual abuse, CWLA is offering this introductory training focused on early identification, interruption of harmful behavior, and identification of treatment needs.
This training will include a real-life case example to illustrate the needed assessment competencies in this multi-faceted and complex work. We will explore the environments that support these interactions, a criterion for assessment as to what is abusive and what is developmentally understandable. We will use the PROFESOR model as part of the assessment to assist in decision-making. The training is designed to help practitioners critically assess these types of cases, develop rationale for their decisions, and to offer support for the whole family unit.
