PATHH Collaboration (Providing Access Toward Hope and Healing)
Description:
This innovative initiative aims to substantially improve Chicago's mental health treatment system for victims of child sexual abuse. The new referral and triage program offers a potential national model to reduce long waiting lists abused children face for mental health care. The multi-agency project effectively and efficiently links victims to their needed level of service as soon as possible and offers families and children the opportunity to join psychoeducational groups that will serve as an intermediary intervention. The evaluation will show if more timely care, additional therapists and psychoeducational groups can lead to better outcomes.
