Our Mission

MASOC’s mission is to ensure that children and adolescents with problematic or abusive sexual behaviors live healthy, safe, and productive lives.

Our Focus Areas

MASOC invests our resources in education and training because specialized assessments and treatment must be administered by professionals trained in working with this population.

Professional Education & Training

We offer individual and group trainings for professionals in treating youth with problematic sexual behaviors.

Advocacy

We offer education to legislators on issues surrounding children’s sexual safety

Community Engagement

We coordinate our efforts with both the criminal justice and survivor communities.

MASOC Commitment to Racial Justice

The MASOC Board condemns the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Sean Reed, Rayshard Brooks, Andres Guardado, and the thousands of others who have been brutalized or killed due to police violence and white supremacy that is part of the long history of racial violence and discrimination in this country. Each of these people are unique and loved. Their lives matter.
