​COLLABORATORS
A large number of individuals have collaborated in the development of the ANSA-T version. Along with the ANSA-T, versions for developmental disabilities, juvenile justice, and child welfare, this information integration tool is designed to support child case planning and the planning and evaluation of service systems. The ANSA-T is an open domain tool for use in service delivery systems that address the mental health of young adults and their families. The copyright is held by the Praed Foundation to ensure that it remains free to use. For more information on  implementation of the CANS, contact Jennifer Cárdenas, LCSW, here. ​
 
We greatly appreciate the support of Alameda County BHCS leadership, who provided the resources needed to develop this manual. In addition, we owe special thanks to our Alameda County CANS Provider Collaborative partners whose constructive feedback helped to shape the form and content of this manual: April Fernando (WestCoast Children’s Clinic), David Channer (A Better Way), and Jen Leland (East Bay Agency for Children).
