I am incredibly proud to share that we have successfully renewed Joint Commission Accreditation, further solidifying our commitment to excellence in adolescent behavioral health. Cascade Academy has been Joint Commission Accredited since 2021, and maintains accreditation in our latest survey. This accomplishment is especially meaningful as Cascade Home received a flawless score—zero findings—during the evaluation, a rare and distinguished achievement.
I am proud to know that we have a culture where gratitude abounds. We laugh together, enjoy
experiences together, and are proud of every milestone in the lives of our coworkers. Cascade
is a place where I consistently see genuine care for every team member. We celebrate one
another’s successes and provide support in times of hardship. We know our work is meaningful
and bonds us in unique experiences. This quarter we have celebrated employee marriages,
engagements, pregnancies, and more. I am proud of the many connections fostered between
employees which will undoubtedly yield lifelong friendships.
We are halfway through 2023 and the happenings of Cascade continue to bring evolution and excellent support for students and families.
The first quarter of the year has closed, bringing a new momentum and energy to our campus.

I am proud to highlight several of our many accomplishments your internal teams have orchestrated. As always, the most important accomplishment and the goal we all share, is the continuation of providing the best care for our students and their families; helping them embrace life with courage and joy. However seemingly small, each task contributes to this larger outcome.

At Cascade Academy we often refer to ourselves as an avoidance treatment program. Our students have struggled by avoiding things like school, friendships, family relationships, expression of their emotions, setting boundaries with others, or just facing the day. Students found…
It is the time of year where people pay attention to accomplishments of the past year and set goals for the next. We are all familiar with the typical “eat better”, “exercise more”, “spend more time with loved ones” goals. And while these are excellent goals, we often see a 30-day fizzle. We suggest an alternative goal by having a different approach to daily living.
