Sex Abuse Treatment Center

Mission

Our mission is to support the emotional healing process of those sexually assaulted in Hawaii, to increase community awareness about their needs and to reduce the incidence of all forms of sexual assault.

We provide leadership to ensure the integrity of sexual assault treatment and prevention services statewide and collaborate with community organizations and agencies to improve responses to sexual violence. Through research and education we aim to reduce sexual violence and improve clinical practices. By promoting and engaging in public policy we seek to change the public's perceptions of sexual violence, overcome barriers to treatment and prevention, and ensure responsive and effective criminal justice practices.
