Abstract
This project concerns the issue of sexual violence against children, and uses the tools of communication design to help to deal with the damage in therapy sessions. We have produced specialized support materials for the therapy follow-up of children who are victims of this type of violence. Due to the complex and sensitive nature of the subject matter, we partnered with the CARE (from APAV) network, a leading organization in Lisbon supporting children and youngsters who are victims of sexual violence. Using the support given by CARE, we carried out surveys and interviews with its experts. We created games and support materials that enhance the dynamic between therapists and victims. In doing so, we hope to have established new therapeutic possibilities, empowering the protection of children. All the results of our project have been validated by the CARE network for the needs of therapy support.
