• CANS is a structured assessment used for identifying youth and family actionable needs and useful strengths. It provides a framework for developing and communicating about a shared vision and uses youth and family information to inform planning, support decisions, and monitor outcomes. DMH has made the decision that providers will complete the CANS-IP.  This includes the items on the CANS 50 and 12 yes/no trauma screening questions. It is completed through a collaborative process which includes children and youth ages 6 through age 20, and their caregivers (at a minimum). Staff using the CANS must be certified annually by the Praed foundation.

• PSC-35 is a psychosocial screening tool designed to facilitate the recognition of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral problems so appropriate interventions can be initiated as early as possible. Parents/caregivers complete PSC-35 (parent/caregiver version) for children and youth ages 3 through 18. The PSC-35 does not have a certification requirement. The Outcomes team created a PSC-35 training video that describes the steps for administering, scoring, interpreting the measure (link below).
