• Terri Bauer is a benevolent, strong, and
  intelligent individual. She is a licensed social
  worker and an psychotherapist. She has been
  working with children with sexual behavior
  problems for more than 15 years. She has played
  an instrumental role in the development of
  inpatient and outpatient programs of Collin and
  Grayson Counties in Texas.

• She is currently working as the director of the
  CSI program in Collin County. This program began
  in 2000, and its main target is to help out kids
  and youth who have sexual behavior problems.
  Terri realized that while there are many programs
  that help victims of domestic abuse and sexual
  crimes, there is not much being done for the
  juvenile offenders.

• Eventually, what the program seeks to achieve is
  to normalize these children and help them
  reintegrate back into society so that they can
  lead normal lives. Owing to its large success,
  the CSI program has become one of the most
  respected programs in the nation. While it is
  difficult to point out the exact reasons that a
  youth may commit a sexual crime, taking a
  multipronged approach towards the treatment of
  the offenders can prove to be immensely
  beneficial.

• The treatment process is very comprehensive, and
  requires complete dedication from the family.
  The juveniles are admitted to a post adjudication
  facility, where they will remain for a period of
  up to a year. Here they are taught new coping
  skills, relapse prevention, victim empathy,
  healthy social skills and healthy sexual
  relationships. Being in an environment that
  houses other juveniles just like themselves helps
  them to learn and grow together. The parents are
  also taught certain ways of supervision and
  monitoring their children so they can better pick
  up on any red flags in the behavior of their
  children.
