The PECFAS^® and CAFAS^® are used throughout the United States and Canada to help guide choices about treatment type and intensity. It is backed by over two decades of research. The current environment puts many pressures on mental health professionals - to efficiently assess youth and generate documentation, track each youth’s progress and respond to set-backs, ensure that parents and youth guide treatment planning, and manage high case loads. This is all within the context of fewer resources and an eventual expectation that children who could benefit from evidence-based practices (EBP) be identified and offered these treatments.
