Care Structures for the Assessment, Diagnostic and Treatment in Cases of Sexual Abuse in Childhood and Adolescence The present article provides an overview of care structures for the assessment, diagnostic and treatment of children and adolescents following sexual abuse in Germany, illustrated by the Department of Trauma and Child Protection at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin. The complexity of such cases requires interdisciplinary diagnostics and cross-sectoral cooperation to enhance the confidence and security of all parties involved and to ensure child-friendly and child-centered procedures. Institutions such as child protection outpatient clinics or Childhood- Houses play a central role in the assessment and diagnostic process. In addition, trauma outpatient clinics are indispensable for providing early psychotherapeutic support. Ensuring the nationwide availability of such services is essential to reduce the number of unrecognized and untreated cases.
