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.
Adolescent anxiety is a common issue that many young students face during their teenage years. However, when these students are also diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the treatment and management of their anxiety may differ.
