The cooperation programme "Children's House" begins offering an online support group today for parents and legal guardians of children who have been victims of sexual abuse. This is according to information published on the website of the Children's Protection Centre (BAC).

The support group is intended for families and other legal representatives of children who have faced the experience of a child suffering sexual abuse. It is being organised remotely, in an online format, allowing participants to join regardless of their location.

"Children's House" is a cooperation programme through which support for children who have suffered sexual abuse, and their families, is coordinated. The Children's Protection Centre announced the start of the new support group on its website, though the publicly available announcement does not specify further details such as how often the group will meet, its duration, or the registration process.

Support initiatives of this kind are aimed at helping parents and legal guardians cope with the situation of a child in their care having suffered sexual abuse — an experience that affects the whole family and often requires professional support over an extended period. Those interested in joining the group can seek further information on the Children's Protection Centre's website.
