Where the Money Came From
The extent of the challenges to mental wellness and strengths of children six years of age and older is assessed using the Brief Child and Family Phone Interview (BCFPI). In addition, clinical staff assess the child’s functional strengths and impairment through the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale (CAFAS). Together, these instruments provide information regarding the impact of service through the course of involvement at kidsLINK. The outcome data from BCFPI and CAFAS evaluations show that children and youth functioning at the conclusion of the program is improved. BCFPI data identify that overall, there are improvements in internalizing and externalizing problems. CAFAS scores indicate 71.8% of children improved by 20 points or more. The effect size of the work completed with these children, youth and families is evaluated to be “large” meaning it is an important factor associated with the changes that are seen.
