Published purpose

CAMH Phase 2 proposes to build on and expand their service delivery via TFC for individuals with a sexual interest in children and/or who are at-risk for engaging in child sexual abuse and do not have legal involvement. The evaluation results from Phase 1 of the project will be incorporated into Phase 2. The anonymous helpline will expand to offer services to bystanders and professionals in order to prevent child sexual abuse. The non-anonymous services will be expanded to additional provinces such as (Quebec, Nunavut and Yukon), will see the development and/or revision of an assessment and treatment manual, a refinement of the weekly self-report questionnaires and tools for pre and post-treatment change as well as the development of services for neurodiverse adults and family/friend support for individuals involved in the treatment program. A public awareness and public relations campaign will be enhanced throughout the contribution agreement period. Evaluation of all aspects of service delivery will continue to ensure the project is impacting risk-related factors for sexual offending.
