Children's Aid and Family Services strengthens families and empowers individuals -- children and adults alike -- to reach their fullest potential. Motivated by compassion and in partnership with the community, we make positive lasting differences in the lives of those we serve. We provide high-quality, innovative services to children, adults, and their families that advance social, educational and emotional development and well-being.
We are now an ABA provider with Aetna, United (Medicaid & commercial) and Wellcare. Currently working on Horizon and AmeriGroup.
