The mission of the Youth Intervention Services/CATALYST programs is to prevent sexual assault/violence by juveniles, promote a safe, healthy environment, and protect the public by reducing juvenile crime/delinquency in Florida through community partnerships.  The program serves children, adolescents, and their families who are experiencing sexual behavior problems/offenses, including those who require an intensive out-patient juvenile sex offender program.

Services are available in Pinellas, Pasco, and Hillsborough counties, and include therapy, parent education/support groups, family therapy, intensive case management and more.  Child and adolescent therapeutic treatment groups have a continuing success rate of 97%.
