The Child Protection Center, Inc. (CPC) has one of the highest performing clinical therapy programs for child sexual abuse survivors in the state for the third consecutive year in a row. The treatment component of CPC’s mission is achieved by a team of ten clinicians working from a trauma lens, using empirically supported and evidence-based practices to guide clients on their journey of healing. The Child Protection Center’s Therapy Programs serve children and adults that are survivors of child abuse and neglect in Sarasota and DeSoto Counties. Florida’s Clinical Coordinator for all Sexual Abuse Treatment Programs (SATP) commented that the CPC team is doing exceptionally well with both service and outcome results, ranking as the 2nd most productive team in the state. The Child Protection Center performed better in all monitoring categories and was one of only four programs to exceed the statewide average in all areas. “I am super impressed with your team,” comments Florida’s Clinical Coordinator for all Sexual Abuse Treatment Programs (SATP), in addition to words of encouragement for the team to keep up the amazing work. Last fiscal year, CPC’s therapy programs facilitated 3,634 hours of therapy for 316 child and adult clients. Amanda Jans, Director of Clinical Therapy at CPC, shares “Behind the numbers publicly released, we are doing very well and conducting a high number of services compared to other programs state-wide.” Amanda has been with CPC almost ten years, as have several other clinicians on her team and many other members of CPC staff, which she says really speaks to the agency and their environment. The Child Protection Center’s (CPC) mission is the prevention, intervention, and treatment of child abuse, as the organization envisions a community where children are safe from abuse and free to thrive. For over 40 years, CPC has been serving Sarasota and DeSoto Counties in the State of Florida and is accredited by the National Children’s Alliance.
