Young Londoners who display Harmful Sexual Behaviours are often labelled as perpetrators. This labelling only serves to set them back, rather than help them move forward. Often the young Londoners we work with may not have a full understanding of their actions or where their behaviours may stem from, or that they themselves need support.
For up to 12 months young Londoners will work with a an AIM3 trained Expert Harmful Sexual Behaviours Caseworker, receiving one to one specialist support to help the young Londoners understand the importance of healthy relationships and what can be done to keep themselves and others safe.
