Children and Family Treatment and Support Services

Serving Upstate NY: Monroe, Ontario, Cayuga, and Seneca counties

Our Children and Family Treatment and Support Services (CFTSS) program supports youth and their families as they work through mental health or behavioral health challenges. We work closely with every family’s unique strengths and needs to create a comprehensive treatment plan that meets individual goals. Through in-home and community-based support, youth receive the care they need, reducing emergency room visits, hospital stays, or out-of-home placements.
