CANS Training – NEW

This training will introduce the Care Coordinator and their Supervisors to ethical issues commonly encountered in Wraparound and strategies for managing them. This training will include the following content areas: 1) Managing confidentiality in Wraparound; 2) Maintaining professional boundaries with all child and family team members; 3) Professional responsibilities for mandated reporting; 4) Working within your scope of practice; and 5) Managing ethical dilemmas.

This 3-hour training aids in identifying areas of challenges for collaborative youth and family engagements and offers guided strategies toward increasing success in this area.  It is built on the foundations from the Ohio Children’s Initiative TCOM and CANS training and the CANS Assessment 101: The Initial Assessment – Guided Conversations and Collaborations training, though neither are prerequisite for attending this training.  While the ideas and strategies are applicable to an initial CANS assessment, the greatest utility may be for those updating CANS with children/youth and their families and for Care Coordination.

CANS  Booster Training
The CANS Booster training is designed only for those professionals who are currently certified or who have been certified within the past year.  The CANS Booster Training is a 3-hour course that provides attendees a review of previously learned principles of Transformational Collaborative Outcomes Management (TCOM), communimetrics, and information about the CANS assessment.  The training provides information about practice application and implementation strategies as well as special considerations for special populations and system applications.  The training reviews each of the CANS domains and focuses on specific CANS items that are trending as more challenging than others. This session is helpful for brand new CANS assessors as well as those who have been practicing in the field but could use a refresh on the concepts and CANS domains/items.
