Mental health support for children and youth is a priority for Fairfax County, and our Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board (CSB) is now offering new community-based behavioral health services for youth and families at three community centers.
The CSB’s Youth & Family Community-Based Services Team is reducing barriers to treatment by giving individuals the right to access high-quality, affordable health care and supports in the communities in which they live. The Youth & Family Team provides evidence-based treatment to individuals ages 5 to 18 in need of behavioral health services.
