   Results

Southwest Counseling Solutions has an outstanding record of treating children and youth experiencing emotional or behavioral disorders. Results are measured by the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS), which is a mental health evaluation tool. Children and youth are administered the CAFAS upon intake and at then at other points during their treatment. Results show that almost 94% of the children and youth we serve significantly improve their emotional, psychological and behavioral functioning. Our services not only help the children and youth recover; they help families function better.
