Child sexual abuse counselling & support (South East Queensland)

Bravehearts’ child sexual abuse South East Queensland (SEQ) counselling service is available to those living within eligible SEQ catchment areas (see further below for a full list). As well as providing counselling to children and young people affected by child sexual abuse, Bravehearts’ counselling service is available to:

• Non-offending family members of children or young people who have been affected by child sexual abuse, including parents, partners, siblings and others;
• Children under 12 engaging in, or are at risk of engaging in, harmful sexual behaviour (those over 12 years are referred to our Turning Corners Program).

Bravehearts does not investigate child sexual abuse. The focus of our therapeutic work is to support children and families and help them manage the psychological symptoms and trauma related to child sexual abuse.
