The Child, Adolescent, and Family Centre of Ottawa - CAFCO

The Child, Adolescent, and Family Centre of Ottawa - CAFCO A multidisciplinary and bilingual mental health clinic for Ottawa's youth.

The Child, Adolescent, and Family Centre of Ottawa (CAFCO) is a bilingual and multidisciplinary group of professionals dedicated to providing a range of health care services for Ottawa families, with a primary focus on mental health. We offer personalised and professional care, with the goal of helping children, adolescents, and their families to develop healthy and fulfilling relationships, grounded in the principles of dignity and respect. Due to the collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of our group, we are able to offer our clients unparalleled access to a wide range of therapeutic options. CAFCO was created to respond to a number of needs that, though working in the field and consulting with various groups, its founders identified as existing within the Ottawa area. Our main goals are to be able to offer services in a very timely manner (we return all calls within 48 hours and an appointment is usually offered within a week), with a focus on research-based approaches to treatment. We are also committed to providing services to families in a very warm environment that is non-institutional and as home-like as possible.

It is with mixed emotions that we announce Dr. Caroline Sullivan, Co-Founder and Co-Director of the Child, Adolescent, and Family Centre of Ottawa (CAFCO), is retiring from her position as Director. After many years of dedicated service, Dr. Sullivan will be retiring from her leadership role, but we are pleased to share that she will continue to work with us as a psychologist, providing her invaluable expertise and support to the families who need it most.

Dr. Sullivan’s contributions to CAFCO and the community have been immeasurable. Her compassion, leadership, and commitment to helping children, adolescents, and families through mental health challenges have been a driving force behind everything we do.

Please join us in expressing our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Sullivan for her incredible work, and in wishing her all the best in her well earned retirement. Thank you for everything, Dr. Sullivan , your impact will be felt for years to come.
