The STOP Program provides Geauga County residents with immediate and continuous help to children, their families, and offenders, through the investigation, prosecution, and treatment process. Job and Family Services, the Prosecutors Office, the Sexual Abuse Investigator, and Ravenwood Mental Health Center all work collaboratively to assist those families in need. The Geauga County Mental Health Board, United Way and Job and Family Services also assist with funding the services. The treatment portion of this program is provided by Ravenwood therapists.
When sexual abuse occurs and is disclosed, most families experience stress and are worried about what their future will hold. The STOP Program, including the STOP Community Support worker, is available to help those families manage their stress and confusion by being an advocate and also being available for home visits, assisting with education, giving support, and linking families with services and treatment.
