TA Network Webinar: Effectively Integrating the CANS into the Wraparound Process
Date/Time: April 30, 2019 / 11am – 12:30pm PT / 2pm – 3:30pm ET
This webinar will focus on how to best integrate the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) assessment into the Wraparound process. Based on a guidance document developed through a collaboration of the National Wraparound Implementation Center (NWIC) and Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago (organizational home of the CANS), the webinar will summarize differences in the two approaches and discuss how to effectively coordinate the CANS assessment with Wraparound practice.
