Since 1989, the Child Guidance Center has coordinated an interagency team, integrating criminal justice and protective services investigations, while providing comprehensive services for child sexual abuse victims and non-offending parents.Specially trained Child Guidance Center therapists conduct investigative interviews at the request of the police or the state child protection agency and
provide crisis therapy for the child and supportive services for the family to help them
cope with the trauma of victimization. This team was the first in Connecticut to achieve national accreditation and serves as a model program in New England, providing training throughout the region.
