Abstract

Many children in residential facilities have been sexually abused. Within these agencies child and youth care workers are the primary caretakers for the children. Oftentimes, these workers have received little training or guidance for helping sexually abused children. In order to help these children overcome a history of abuse and lead a normal life, child and youth care workers need effective and practical training. This paper will give practical ideas and information that can be applied to their working environment. The principles of safety, support, and education will be discussed as important steps for the child and youth care worker to utilize in helping the sexually abused child.
