Central Agencies Sexual Abuse Treatment CASAT
Child Development Institute is pleased to be the sponsor for the activities and services of Central Agencies Sexual Abuse Treatment (CASAT). Established in 1990, CASAT is a coalition of approximately 40 Toronto agencies whose mission is to promote recovery from child sexual abuse and other forms of trauma. CASAT works to provide, connect with and support services for children, youth and families affected by sexual abuse. CASAT serves children and youth age 0-18 and their families.
CASAT works in partnership with parents and youth to connect people with treatment services. We also provide links to services for offenders, and offer specialized treatment groups when funding allows and needs demand.
