Established in 1990, the sexual abuse team provides
a statewide specialist services to families and professionals dealing with sexual
abuse. Core functions include direct counselling services to families, consultation
and training services to professionals and research activities. The SAT is the only
specialist sexual abuse service in Victoria which routinely sees all members of families,
including adult offenders.
Team members are all qualified and experienced family
therapists, who have extensive experience working in the area of sexual abuse. Recognising
that family members are essential to victim recovery, and yet likely to be suffering
their own anguish and difficulties, the Bouverie Sexual Abuse Team is committed to
providing direct assistance to families, as well as supporting other workers to do
the same. The team currently relies on a mix of core funding and funds generated
from training activities. A brochure outlining SAT activities is available from the
Bouverie Centre.
