Child Welfare | Juvenile Justice | Mental Health | Primary Care | School | System of Care
Health professionals are often the first to hear parental concerns about hyperactivity, school failure, difficulty managing the youth, and concerns about depression, substance use, or family problems. In order to respond to parental requests or guide the parent to other services, often a rapid assessment that takes a “holistic” view of the child is needed.

For practices that include mental health or behavioral health care professionals:
-
If a more in-depth evaluation appears warranted, the CAFAS® or PECFAS® can be used to provide a comprehensive assessment
-
If helping parents learn more effective ways to manage their child’s difficult behavior is a service that is offered, the Caregiver Wish List® – CWL® is an ideal assessment and outcome measure. It is a self-administered questionnaire that pinpoints the skills they need to learn and invites the parent to take the lead, by generating a “Caregiver’s Coaching Plan.”
