SAPEN Conference

In 1986, professionals with a focus on the treatment and education of sexual abuse victims and offenders from different organizations all across Pennsylvania came together to discuss how to prevent sexual abuse. This resulted in the formation of the Sexual Abuse Prevention and Education Network. SAPEN is a small, thoughtful group with experience working with offenders and victims for over two decades. These professionals treat and manage youth and adult sexual abuse victims and offenders as well as the families that have been affected by sexual abuse. Each year, SAPEN hosts a two-and-a-half-day conference to educate professionals by providing keynote speakers and conference presenters who are experts in the field. Through this conference, SAPEN is proud of the opportunity to offer knowledge to those that are just beginning their careers as well as to those who have provided years of dedicated service to their profession.
