State Representative Anthony Nolan visited CFA’s School-Based Health Center at New London High School this week. During his visit, Rep Nolan toured the center, met with our dedicated providers, and learned more about the essential services that our School-Based Health Centers offer to students.

He showed particular interest in Health on a Shelf, one of our newest initiatives that provides students with basic hygiene and sanitary products. This effort helps ensure that basic needs are met so students can focus on being their best selves during the school day.

CFA thanks Representative Nolan for his steadfast support of our School-Based Health Centers, and ongoing advocacy on our behalf!

We were proud to be represented at the 2025 Annual Evidence Based Practice (EBP) Conference in Hartford!

CFA’s own Travis Walls presented “Engaging the Child with Autism” to a standing-room-only audience.

Our CFA EBP teams were honored with TWO state awards:
🏆 Most MATCH clients with clinically significant RCI change
🏆 Most Bounce Back clients with at least 3 sessions attended

These recognitions speak volumes about the commitment, compassion, and excellence of our teams and leadership who help make this work possible. CFA continues to lead the way in delivering effective, evidence-based practices across Connecticut, and we couldn't be prouder!
