FANS The FANS, developed by John Lyon and the OMH Western Region Family Support Directors, identifies a family’s strength and needs much the same as the CANS-NY for the identified youth.
The CANS-NY, typically implemented by a care coordinator (case manager or ICC) has a family functioning domain with 4 dimensions that correspond with the FANS tool.
The FANS has 17 questions which is administered by a FPA that:o assists families in recognizing their strengths,o directs the focus of the FPAs work with the family,o measures progress in meeting focused goals over time, ando assists in saying goodbye.
The FANS has also proven to be an effective tool in: o communicating with providers on the specific goals of the family ando supervision of FPA
