Most schools do not directly provide services as part of the YES system of care, but school staff may participate on a Child and Family Team (CFT), help a family complete the CANS with the family’s mental health provider, support the goals identified on the coordinated care plan, or provide in-school supports. How schools choose to get involved and the resources available vary between districts, and families are encouraged to discuss involvement with their local school staff. If you are an educator and would like to learn more about the CANS tool or participating on a Child and Family Team, you can read more in the Guide to YES: A Practice Manual.
