About Us

CFS offers four academic programs: Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health (CABH), Marriage and Family Therapy, and Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling (RMHC). Five graduate certificates are also offered. CFS efforts are consistent with the CBCS mission of combining knowledge gained through the behavioral sciences with knowledge gained from the community.
