When a child is facing emotional, behavioral, or mental health issues, it can be devastating to the family unit. Southwest Network has more than two decades’ experience helping children, adolescents, and their parents/caregivers overcome these unique challenges. We are one of the most recognized mental and behavioral health services providers in the Greater Phoenix area and have been a partner with the Department of Child Safety (DCS) for nearly 20 years.
At Southwest Network, our caring and compassionate case managers collaborate with our tenured children’s psychiatrists and clinical therapists to provide the services and treatment that best meet your family’s needs. They also establish you with family support partners to ensure you are connected with helpful community resources. We’ll work with you to define an Individual Service Plan (ISP) for your child, and establish goals to ensure she/he stays on track. Moreover, we’ll help families forge a greater understanding of their child’s needs so they can manage them better at home.
We use the nationally recognized Child and Family Team Process, which assembles the right group of family members, friends, and professionals to navigate your specific situation. You and your child can meet in one of our licensed outpatient clinics, your home, remotely, or wherever you’re most comfortable.
With the support of Southwest Network, your child can be healthier, more productive in school, more independent, and have a hopeful future. Your family life can be happier and more peaceful as well.

When to seek treatment for your child
If your child has an emotional or behavioral health issue, or you are worried about your child’s mental health, there is help and hope.
The Child and Family Team Process
Your case management team at Southwest Network will strive to provide high-quality services, while also working to strengthen your family. We accomplish this by assembling a Child and Family Team, or CFT, which will develop a plan for your unique issues and goals.
