Life Care Planning for Long-Term Effects
In cases of sexual abuse, the long-term physical, emotional, and psychological effects may be significant and may continue over time. At CBA, our Certified Life Care Planners prepare comprehensive life care plans that assess the counselling, psychiatric care, therapy, and support services that may be required in light of the individual’s circumstances.
Our plans project the future costs associated with medical, therapeutic, and rehabilitative services where ongoing needs are identified. The analysis is based on the available records, assessment findings, and the nature of the individual’s reported needs over time.
Each life care plan is intended to assist legal teams handling sexual abuse claims by documenting the effects identified in the case and outlining the future costs associated with ongoing care and support needs.
Ongoing support needs for survivors
Each life care plan includes a detailed assessment of the survivor's long-term physical, emotional, and psychological support needs.
Counselling and therapy
Long-term counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy, EMDR, and specialized support services projected across the survivor’s lifetime.
Psychiatric care
Ongoing psychiatric assessments, medication management, and monitoring for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions arising from the abuse.
Rehabilitation and peer support
Community resources, survivor peer support groups, life skills programming, and vocational rehabilitation to support rebuilding daily life.
Residential and housing support
Transitional housing, supported living arrangements, and safety planning for survivors who have been displaced from their living situation.
Physical health care
Medical treatment for physical injuries, sexual health services, and ongoing health monitoring related to the abuse.
Long-term case management
Coordination of services, advocacy, and ongoing support to ensure continuity of care across providers and programs.
The lasting effects of sexual abuse require comprehensive, sensitive documentation. Our plans identify the resources required to support long-term functioning.
How CBA supports sexual abuse claims
Our approach to sexual abuse life care planning is grounded in careful assessment, detailed documentation, and clinical relevance.
Careful Assessment Process
Our planners use a structured assessment process designed to identify the counselling, psychiatric, therapeutic, and support needs that may arise in sexual abuse claims.
Evidence-Based Cost Analysis
Our reports are based on the available records, the identified care needs in the case, and a structured review of the services and supports that may be required over time.
Clear Documentation
Our reports document the effects identified in the case and provide structured, evidence-based cost projections suitable for use in litigation.
Report types for sexual abuse claims
The appropriate report type depends on the complexity and scope of the survivor's needs.
Future Care Needs and Cost Analysis
Projects the survivor’s counselling, psychiatric care, trauma therapy, rehabilitation, and support service needs in a comprehensive, peer-reviewed report. The analysis is based on the available records, assessment findings, and the projected nature of the individual’s ongoing needs.
Cost Projection of Future Care Needs
May be appropriate when the survivor’s therapeutic needs are well defined and a focused estimation of future counselling and psychiatric care costs is sufficient for early resolution or mediation, without the scope of a full lifetime assessment.
Past Care Valuation
Captures the cost of past care and support services the survivor has already required since the abuse. This includes care provided through community programs, victim services, and other relevant support resources.
Life Care Plan Critiques
Evaluates an opposing expert's assessment of the survivor's long-term therapeutic and psychiatric needs, reviewing whether the projected treatment plan, duration of services, and cost estimates are consistent with the available clinical evidence, the reported needs in the case, and the projected scope of ongoing services.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the assessment process sensitive to the survivor's experience?
Yes. The assessment process is conducted with care and sensitivity to the subject matter. Our planners aim to gather the information needed for the report in a manner that is respectful and appropriate to the circumstances.
