SATT
Sexual Abuse Treatment Program
Program
The SATT Program, a component of the Community Child Guidance Clinic, was established in 1979. Services are provided to families when sexual abuse of children is a concern or a presenting problem.
The SATT Team offers evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and consultation to families in which one or more children are experiencing emotional and adjustment problems related to sexual abuse.
Inter-Agency Coordination
Sexual abuse is a serious problem requiring the coordinated services of many different agencies. At times, efforts to find the best solutions with the family involve working with schools, law enforcement agencies, physicians, child advocacy teams, social service agencies and other mental health professionals. Also, in order to protect the abused child, the SATT Program works closely with the Department of Children and Families to which mandated reports of suspected child abuse are made.

Families with children from preschool through age 18 are eligible. They may apply directly or on referral by the Department of Children and Families, police, physicians, clergy, school counselors, or other community professionals.
Appointments
Appointments are made by contacting the Clinic at (860) 643-2101 and indicating that the problem relates to sexual abuse. A member of the SATT Team will then take some information and plan for the first appointment. In many cases, the family can be seen within 24 hours.
Fees
The Clinic's fees for services are determined by a sliding scale based on the family's income. Fees may be modified according to a family's special circumstances, and adjustments are made when a family's situation changes. Services are never denied because of inability to pay. The Clinic accepts State medical cards and private insurance. All families are encouraged to discuss with their therapists any problems they may have with the established fee.
