Summary
The mission of the Fairfax-Falls Church CPMT is to provide leadership in the development of new concepts and approaches in the provision of services to children, youth and families of Fairfax County and the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church. The primary focus of the CPMT is to lead the way to effective services to children already at risk of experiencing emotional/behavioral problems especially those at risk or in need of out-of-home placements--and their families. As part of Fairfax-Falls Church’s larger System of Care (SOC) for Youth and Families, the CSA program, is working to increase the availability and capacity for evidence-based practices/interventions along the continuum of prevention through treatment. The greater SOC is
also working to enhance the community’s ability to effectively identify and respond to children and families who have been exposed to trauma. A goal for the SOC is to create an improved service
network for high risk children to include appropriate evidence-based practices, care coordination, and crisis intervention/stabilization, in order to improve the outcomes for those served.
