Beth showed how integral information needed for assessment is discussed during the case reviews with the multidisciplinary team at the child advocacy center. Beth encouraged those providing treatment and assessment to sexually aggressive youth to begin involved with their local child advocacy centers and their multidisciplinary team process.
