MichiCANS
The MichiCANS is a collaborative tool crafted to explore and communicate the needs and strengths of the child/youth and family. This allows staff to listen to the experiences of the child and family; and together, the child, family, and care team can prioritize action steps and track changes. Use of the Michigan Child & Adolescent Needs and Strengths (MichiCANS) tool is underway. On January 8, 2024, five Community Mental Health (CMH) sites across the state began utilizing this standardized screening tool in preparation for a statewide launch on October 1, 2024. Information from this "soft launch" will help inform successful continued use of the tool across the state. Updates about expansion of the MichiCANS can be found on the MichiCANS website.
Thank you to the following CMH sites for piloting use of the MichiCANS to help support statewide launch:
- HealthWest
- North Country
- CMH for Central Michigan
- Sanilac CMH
- Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (Children’s Center)
