The Comprehensive Services Act is a Virginia law designed to help troubled youths and their families. State and local agencies, parents and private service providers work together to plan and provide services to children who have serious emotional or behavioral problems; who may need residential care or services beyond the scope of standard agency services; who need special education through a private school program; or who receive foster care services.

Throughout Virginia, teams known as Community Policy and Management Teams (CPMTs) implement the Comprehensive Services Act as specified by the Code of Virginia. The governing bodies of Fairfax County and the cities of Fairfax and Falls Church work jointly to implement the CSA locally through the Fairfax-Falls Church Community Policy and Management Team (CPMT) -- with the goal of strengthening and reuniting families.
