Sexual trauma is a broader term referring to childhood sexual abuse, assault, harassment and child sexual exploitation (CSE). The New Ways OST programme focuses on processing a young person’s trauma, developing healthy relationships and building their resilience. Viewing the behaviour of a young person through a trauma-informed lens can foster the environment necessary for the young person to move forward and experience post-traumatic growth.

The adolescent programme consists of 80 sessions in total. The first 8 are used for the introductory phase. Following this there are 72 individual therapy sessions and the same number of groupwork sessions, both of which are made up by 6 modules. Individual therapeutic intervention covers more personal and sensitive therapeutic work, such as trauma processing and analysis of problematic sexual behaviour and overcoming this.
