Action for Children
We have delivered therapeutic post-sexual abuse services for children/young people for 25 years. Over this time our contract in Kent to provide emotional wellbeing services of this nature has changed from a pilot service supporting all young people requiring therapeutic intervention in Swale, expanding throughout south and east Kent, to now countywide provision. The Harbour Project (described above) was set up in October 2014 and whilst it is time-limited to 10 sessions we have experience of longer-term therapeutic support, and are currently piloting a 30 session model for one service user. Feedback from a parent: “the lady providing our care was very nice and attentive to mine and my child’s needs. She has helped us immensely through a very hard and troubling time.”

Support can be delivered through 1:1 sessions or group work. The service aims to build a therapeutic relationship and give young people a safe space and tools to reflect on their experiences using socio-educative approaches. Issues explored may include emotions, healthy/unhealthy relationships, self-esteem, safety, consent, grooming and exploitation. This service is also available to young people who do not have a formal LD diagnosis, but where professionals have observed significant additional learning needs that may prevent the young person from accessing mainstream services.
