Letting the Future In - Family support services

What we do

Letting the Future In is a therapeutic service for children and young
people aged 4-17 who have been sexually abused.
Children and young people who have been abused can feel
confused and upset about what’s happened to them but having the
chance to explore their thoughts and feelings can be really helpful.

What are the aims of the programme?
For every child or young person, the aim is to:
• provide a child-centred service which helps the child or young person to explore the impact of the abuse and resolve or cope better with any
ongoing issues
• strengthen their relationships with their siblings and parents or carers
ensuring they are supported as they recover from the abuse
• help parents and carers understand the impact of sexual abuse on their child or young so that they are better able to respond to their needs.

Who do we support

The service is for children and young people aged 4-17 years who have been impacted by sexual abuse and are happy to be referred to the programme. Referrals can also be made for children and young people with mild or moderate learning disabilities up until the age of
19.
Referrals are usually accepted for children and young people after an investigation into the allegations of sexual abuse has taken place.
The child or young person should be living in a stable environment with a parent or carer, and not with the alleged perpetrator.
The parent or carer will be involved in the programme and offered individual support and joint sessions with their child.
Siblings who require support may also be provided with a
service.
For most families, this lasts between six and ten months.
