About Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS)-NY Virtual Course
The Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths – New York (CANS-NY) is an information integration tool that is designed to communicate the results of a high-quality screening and assessment process. Its primary purpose is to communicate a single, shared vision of the strengths and needs of a child and family being served by multiple service systems (e.g. child welfare, health homes, schools, etc.).
This 4-hour virtual instructor-led session is an exciting opportunity for passionate, committed professionals to develop and strengthen their ability to identify a child and family’s strengths and needs, and use those needs to inform the service plan. Whether you are new to your role or a seasoned professional, this training will help deepen and sharpen your skills.
Moreover, special attention will be paid to how to engage and communicate with families the importance of the CANS-NY in planning for safety, wellbeing and permanency of our children in care.
