About Us
Child & Family Support Services, Inc. (CFSS) was founded in May, 2003 in order to provide supportive community-based services to sustain the Systems of Care movement occurring in Arizona. CFSS works to provide support for children and families through training and consultation, community-based direct support services, and specialized facilitation of Child and Family Teams. Another purpose of the agency is to provide a working environment for behavioral health personnel that is based on the same principles as those by which families are served - respect, strengths, and support that is tailored to the needs of the individual. We believe that a behavioral health service agency can be successful at helping families and employees at the same time.
CFSS operates several programs in Arizona providing community-based direct support services for children, young adults and families in the Public Behavioral Health system. In addition, we make arrangements on an individual basis to provide counseling or direct support services to individuals and families outside of the Behavioral Health system through private pay or single case agreement arrangements.
