WHO IS CAFA?
CAFA is a state certified, non-profit 501C(3) mental health agency offering services and support to adults, children and families.  We have several goals. One is to equip parents to partner and parent in ways that ensure children's safety and allow the children to go about the normal tasks of happily being a child.  A second goal is to be a resource fo couples struggling to have safe, fulfilling, enriched relationships.  Thirdly, CAFA therapists work with individuals, both adult and children, to help them find solutions to their presenting problems. 

We blend biblical principals with spychological understanding to serve both the Christian community and the citizens of Lane County.  We desire to serve as a resource to the local church to offer education about domestic violence and other mental health issues, and to train the church in safe and helpful interventions.  We wish to share our knowledge, skills, and understanding with the church as well as the larger community and to be available to serve as a bridge between the two.
