Projects

The Clearinghouse was sponsored by The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Military Community and Family Policy (MC & FP), through a cooperative agreement with the National Institute for Food and Agriculture, to assist in the development and evaluation of a Problematic Sexual Behavior (PSB) Non-Clinical Referral Tool (NCRT) that is intended to assist DoDEA (Department of Defense Education Activity) and Child Development/Youth Program (CD/YP) personnel in determining if a referral or consult to FAP (Family Advocacy Program) is warranted based on the sexual behavior(s) exhibited by the child(ren) or youth. The NCRT also assists FAP personnel in establishing if a referred incident should be considered non-normative and if engagement of the MDT (Multi-Disciplinary Team) should be initiated. The Clearinghouse hosts the NCRT Support Site that is intended to support DoDEA, CD/YP, and FAP personnel in the training and implementation of the NCRT. Clearinghouse professionals are available to support DoDEA, CD/YP, and FAP personnel via email (PSBToolSupport@psu.edu) or the phone helpline at 1-877-382-9185 weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST/EDT.
