Description

Community-based program for female adolescents with a history of sexual victimization who receive services from the child protection network to reduce revictimization in dating situations.
The program uses care-based cognitive interventions to develop risk-response and problem-solving skills. It is delivered in 12 sessions of one and a half hours each, in weekly meetings.

Impact evaluations

An impact evaluation showed that the program reduced sexual and physical revictimization of adolescent beneficiaries [1].
