CANS TIPS TO ENGAGE FAMILIES

CANS RATING WINDOWPANE-SCORING GUIDE
"The Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) assessment tool is intended to be administered collaboratively with children and families. The collaborative approach relies on clear communication and a commitment to building consensus among team members."

ASSESSING FOR NEEDS AND STRENGTHS
A complete understanding of the TCOM tools includes the ability to determine if a piece of information represents a Need or a Strength.

FAMILY HANDOUT: CHILD AND ADOLESCENT NEEDS AND STRENGTHS
​The CANS and ANSA are a part of our assessment process that is aimed at clarifying your story, allowing for easier communication and providing us with a transparent way to talk about what’s going well and what you’d like to be better.

  • ​See ANSA Handout for more.
USING THE CANS/ANSA WITH CAREGIVERS & FAMILIES (RATING SCALE)
​"What is the CANS/ANSA? This is a tool to gather information about your child’s needs and strengths. How is the CANS/ANSA used? A rating scale is used for each question/item which will determine the action level for each item."  
  • See Using the CANS/ANSA with Caregivers & Families (Rating Scale) for more. 
​USING THE CANS AND ANSA WITH INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES
​"You may be unsure about when and how to introduce the CANS or ANSA measure to an individual and/or the family and how to engage them in the process of completing the tool. Likewise, there are often questions about how the CANS/ANSA may be used to discuss their clinical conceptualization and engage in treatment planning with the individual/family."  
  • See ​Using the CANS and ANSA with Individuals and Families for more.
