Q: Has there been any change to the requirements for completing Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) Assessments prior to the completion of a case plan? The timing of these assessments are a concern and potential barrier for jurisdiction, disposition, and voluntary Family Maintenance.
A: The Project is aware of this county concern and is currently working on a solution to allow case plans to be completed before a Child and Adolescent Strengths (CANS) assessment is completed.
