Understanding Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) Assessments

CANS stands for the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths assessment. Understanding CANS will help you to best serve the child or teen placed in your home as a foster placement. It will also help you know the purpose behind the assessment being done. I have carefully marked this episode as explicit because it discusses sensitive topics that may not be suitable for young ears to listen to.  If you found this episode helpful, I would love for you to leave me a review and then join our Facebook community of like-minded mamas at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/fostercareandadoptionforchristianwomen   You can find more information on CANS at: The Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) – Praed Foundation
