About the program
Offending Prevention Service/Stop It Now! Australia
Stop It Now! Australia is a child sexual abuse prevention program which works with individuals concerned about their own or someone else’s sexual thoughts or behaviours towards children. It was first established by a victim-survivor of child sexual abuse in the U.S. 30 years ago, and we have been delivering the service here in Australia for over three years. We have also received federal funding to develop a larger scale Offending Prevention Service based on the Stop It Now! Australia Pilot program.
The program’s key feature is an anonymous phone helpline for people who are worried about their own sexual thoughts and behaviours in relation to children, as well as professionals and family members who are concerned about the behaviour of others. The service also includes a website with advice, self-help materials and guidance to raise awareness around child abuse. Stop it Now! Australia/Offending Prevention Service is dedicated to reducing or eliminating the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and seeks to achieve this by engaging with adults who may go on to harm children, and other protective adults. While the service can be accessed anonymously, all mandatory reporting guidelines are complied with.
The Offending Prevention Service/Stop It Now! Australia sits within the Child Sexual Abuse Prevention (CSAP) team and is part of The Men’s Project.
The Men’s Project
The Men’s Project is an initiative of Jesuit Social Services launched in 2017. It provides leadership on the reduction of violence and other harmful behaviours prevalent among boys and men, and builds approaches to improve their wellbeing and keep families and communities safe.
Our vision is for good men, respectful relationships and safe communities.
We will achieve this by:
- research to understand the behaviours and underlying attitudes of men and boys including related to violence, child sexual abuse and the well-being of men and boys themselves.
- promoting positive change around gender norms related to what it means to be a man in the 21st century as well as building skills to intervene to prevent violence; and
- developing innovative ways to stop cycles of violence and harmful behaviour among boys and men.
Current priorities for The Men’s Project include:
- drawing on our Man Box research and child sexual abuse prevalence study, building a greater understanding of perpetration including opportunities for prevention and early intervention;
- supporting people who work with men and boys every day (e.g. teachers, sports coaches, social workers) to prevent violence and improve the well-being of men and boys;
- developing new early intervention approaches with adolescents at-risk of using violence;
- strengthening early intervention responses for adults and young people to prevent child sexual abuse; and
- drawing on our grounded practice experience, advocating for systemic changes that seek to prevent violence and child sexual abuse.
The Men’s Project builds on Jesuit Social Services’ over 45 year engagement with boys and men in trouble, but it also involves us leading new work to reduce violence, to improve the wellbeing of boys and men, and to keep families and communities safe.
