The Family Needs & Strengths (FANS) assessment and outcome tool for Family Peer Support is derived from the Child Needs & Strengths (CANS), developed by Dr. John Lyons.  Seeing the need for a Family Peer Support Services assessment and outcome tool was developed in partnership with New York State Western Region Family Peer Support Services Program Directors, Dr. Lyons, and strongly encouraged and endorsed by New York State Office of Mental Health.

Participants must complete the following:

• Full Training Schedule along with homework
• Must participate in-person (virtually) for full training schedule to be able to take the test and use the tool effectively!
• As this is an interactive participatory training, please have your camera on all the time.
• We offer TA monthly calls to support you and the use of the tool with parents/caregivers.
• Please plan on attending at least the first TA call after taking FANS Basic.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email with link to join the meeting.
