Population: PS-R is designed for youth aged 12 and above. Unless a 10 or 11-year-old is highly motivated and has the intellectual capacity to comprehend all elements of the intervention, it is not recommended for anyone under the age of 12. It should never be facilitated with anyone under age 10.

Facilitation Setting: PS-R should be facilitated in private and confidential individual sessions by professionals trained in the model. It is not recommended for group or family therapy, as highly sensitive topics related to trauma may be unsafe to address outside of individual meetings.

Program Duration: PS-R has structured sessions intended to promote optimal sexual decision-making. It is intended to be delivered in one-hour sessions over consecutive weeks (one session each week); however, it may be facilitated twice a week or it may take longer depending on a youth’s mental health and scheduling needs.
