GREENFIELD The Children’s Advocacy Center of Franklin County and North Quabbin Inc. is collaborating with Clinical & Support Options (CSO) to offer a program for children who engage in problematic sexual behavior, or what was once more commonly labeled “child-on-child sexual abuse.”
Children’s Advocacy Center Case Manager and Multi-Disciplinary Team Facilitator Samantha Staelens said a large part of the program is psycho-education for caregivers, service providers and the community on normative sexual behavior and how to educate children in a way that doesn’t label them as “offenders” or “predators.”
