Comprehensive Children & Family Services

What Comprehensive Children & Family Services does

Comprehensive Children & Family Services is a private, for-profit behavioral health services provider founded around 2000 and headquartered in Sharon, Pennsylvania. The company delivers Intensive Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) to children, youth, and young adults under age 21 with mental, emotional, or behavioral health needs, operating four offices that serve Mercer, Lawrence, Beaver, Butler, Crawford, and Venango Counties in northwest Pennsylvania. Its service portfolio spans Individual Services (Behavior Consultant, Mobile Therapy, and Behavioral Health Technician), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services across multiple credentialed roles, and Group Services including Group ABA, School-Based Programs, After School Programs, and the Summer Therapeutic Activities Program (STAP). It also operates an Autism/PDD Program paired with a parent Autism Support Group.

The company's service model is built on individualized treatment plans (ITPs) developed through assessment of each child's emotional, social, medical, legal, educational, cultural, and familial circumstances, with services delivered in home, school, or community settings in a culturally sensitive manner. Staff are continuously trained on therapeutic topics, first aid, restraint avoidance, and confidentiality. Revenue is generated fee-for-service, with reimbursement flowing through Medicaid, private insurance, and Pennsylvania's county-based behavioral health system; the company is positioned as a referral resource within Beacon Health Options' managed behavioral health network for Medical Assistance recipients in 11 western Pennsylvania counties. Growth is driven by community-based referrals from families, schools, and mental health professionals rather than by a technology platform or capital raise.
