Resources for the Prevention and Treatment of Sexual Abuse

Safer Society Foundation is dedicated to eliminating sexual abuse so that all of us may enjoy safer communities, healthier families and happier lives. Our work focuses on providing resources to help create safer communities through prevention and effective public policy, provide victims with healing and restitution, and provide offenders with the tools to be accountable for their actions and to work towards rehabilitation. We address sexual offending as a public health issue and support efforts to find and implement evidence-based best practices for prevention, treatment, supervision and public policy.

Safer Society Foundation supports two major programs: Safer Society Press and the Nationwide Sex Offender Treatment Referral Service. Safer Society Press publishes books on all aspects of sex offending. We offer treatment workbooks for victims and offenders, books for families dealing with sexual offending issues, books on prevention and on public policy, and professional books. Our titles include books for both children and adults.

The Nationwide Sex Offender Treatment Referral Service is a free service that provides referrals to sex offender treatment programs. Anyone may request a referral to treatment providers for any location within the United States. Information about treatment programs is gathered from our Nationwide Survey of Sex Offender Treatment Programs and supplemental surveys. The periodic Nationwide Survey provides information about current practices and trends in sex offender treatment that is used in research, in policy development, and in program development.

Our web site is a work in progress. Please let us know what resources would be helpful to you. Check back often to learn about our new titles and to see the new resources we’ll be adding.
