| Child and Family Outpatient Services | |
Child and Family Outpatient Services (CFOS) is a solution-oriented therapy program providing treatment to children ages 0 – 18 and their families. While treatment is child-centered, the importance of the family as a resource and source of support is recognized and utilized as an essential element of intervention. PurposeThe primary focus of CFOS is to provide short-term, solution-oriented treatment of behavioral and emotional difficulties in children and adolescents. The aim is to address problems at their earliest stage of development. With timely intervention, the expectation is that relatively few therapy sessions may be necessary for a positive outcome. Therapeutic interventions within the CFOS program include individual, family, and group therapy.Program StaffTherapists in this program have earned advanced degrees in the behavioral sciences and have received specialized training in child development and brief psychotherapy. A board-certified psychiatrist provides psychiatric evaluations and is available to consult with therapists.OutcomesParticipation in the CFOS program enables the child and family to accomplish their treatment goals in the least disruptive manner. Mobilizing the child’s existing and natural support system (i.e., family, clergy, school personnel) enables long-term stability to continue after treatment.ReferralsReferrals to CFOS occur through HSC’s Base Service Unit.
