Hours and Location

Overview

Eligible patients

Services are available for children and adolescents (infant to 17 years with some exceptions) of active-duty and retired service members who are enrolled in DEERS and are TRICARE-eligible.

Referrals may come from various clinics, schools, legal systems and walk-ins are welcome. Triage (Parents Only): Child and Family Assistance Center (CAFAC) performs a screening and classification to determine the priority of need for psychiatric care. Upon completion of the required form (.pdf file format), a Triage Counselor performs a brief assessment/consultation of the problem and provides any additional paperwork or forms as needed. The Triage Counselor provides an appointment with a clinician for a comprehensive Psychosocial Assessment and more definitive treatment recommendations.
