CANS AUGUST through DECEMBER 2023
OHIO CHILDREN’S INITIATIVE | CANS Assessment and TCOM Training
The Ohio Children’s Initiative CANS assessment tool has been developed for broad application across multiple systems, including youth involved in child protection, developmental disability, department of youth services, and mental health and addiction. The CANS assessment tool gathers all dimensions of the youth and family story to determine needs and strengths and integrates multiple storytellers capturing the voice of the youth and family to produce a full consensus-based assessment. This training will satisfy the Ohio live training requirement and prepare participants to take the CANS certification exam.
5.5 CEs available to: Social Workers, Counselors, Psychologists, RNs/LPNs, Chemical Dependency Counselors

CANS Assessment 102
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.
