Child victims of sexual and physical abuse, neglect, and those children who have witnessed family violence receive treatment through CATS.

The program offers three categories of service:

• counselling,
• consultation
• and training.

It offers treatment groups based on age and type of abuse experienced. Counselling and support groups also provide help to non-offending parent(s) and siblings. Individual and group treatment is available year-round. Pre-adolescents account for two thirds of referrals to the program.

Child maltreatment includes sexual abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, neglect and witness to family violence.

Counsellors also provide workshops and information sessions to educate and raise awareness about the impact and prevention of child maltreatment.

Services are provided in Whitehorse and C.A.T.S. counsellors travel to Yukon communities on a regular basis.
