The care of adolescents with intellectual disabilities (ID) who commit sexual offenses has historically been neglected. Recently, the approach has changed, recognizing the possibility of rehabilitation rather than punishment. This study reports on an experience of group intervention carried out with adolescents with ID who have committed sexual offenses and their families, with an emphasis on promoting social skills and building a family protection network. The intervention took place in the first half of 2024, in a public health institution, involving five families in three meetings of approximately three hours each. The sessions were conducted by a multi-professional team made up of psychologists, social workers and other professionals, and included discussion, drawing and role-playing activities, with the aim of facilitating communication between adolescents and their guardians, as well as promoting discussions about protection, sexuality and building a family support network. The experience showed a significant gain in learning and intergenerational closeness, reinforcing the importance of the parental role in guiding and protecting adolescents. It is concluded that the continuation of future meetings is recommended to consolidate the lessons learned and strengthen the family support network
