IPUL’s CANS Core Concepts series continues this week by answering the question: What do raters consider when completing the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tool?

When completing a Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tool, the following questions should be considered:

1.) Is this need impacting the child’s functioning?
2.) How urgently is action required to address this need?
3.) Are you focused on describing the need or strength, rather than the underlying cause?
4.) What services and supports are already in place for the youth and family?

To learn more about the CANS and to read the Youth Empowerment Services Practice Manual, visit the YES website at https://yes.idaho.gov/

If your child has received services through YES (Youth Empowerment Services), we want to hear the REAL story the wins, the frustrations, and everything in between.

Your anonymous stories/comments are being brought directly into systems-level conversations across Idaho to help improve children’s mental health services for ALL families.

✨ What’s helped your child succeed?
✨ What barriers have made things harder?
✨ What do you wish providers, case managers, or leaders understood?
✨ What would make YES work better for families like yours?

📣 Families are the experts on their own children.
Let’s make sure Idaho hears your voice.

What if one conversation could change everything for a family?
That’s what happens every day at IPUL (Idaho Parents Unlimited). When a parent feels overwhelmed navigating special education, Medicaid, Children's Mental Health, transition to adulthood, or services for their child, IPUL is there. Real people. Real guidance. Real hope.
When you donate, you help:
• A parent walks into an IEP meeting feeling confident instead of confused
• A child gets the services and support they deserve
• A family feels less alone during some of their hardest moments
This isn’t just a donation, it's advocacy. It's a community. It’s empowerment
Be part of something meaningful. Help Idaho families find their voice.

In the lower center, there is a large, bright lime-green analog alarm clock with silver bells and legs. The clock face is white with black numbers and hands, showing a time a little after 2 o’clock. To the right of the clock are three lime-green accent lines suggesting urgency or ringing.

In the lower left corner is the Idaho Parents Unlimited logo, featuring three stylized figures inside a circular emblem with the words “Engage • Educate • Bridge • Lead.” Beneath it, the text “ipulidaho.org” appears in white.

At the top left, a lime-green asterisk-like symbol appears next to the word “Reminder” in large lime-green text. On the upper right is the Idaho Parents Unlimited logo, featuring three stylized human figures inside a circular emblem with the words “Engage • Educate • Bridge • Lead.”

On the left side, large white text reads: “Every donation to IPUL helps an Idaho family go from overwhelmed to empowered.” Below this are two rounded buttons: one says “Donate Now,” and the other shows the website “ipulidaho.org/donate.” Near the bottom, the text “ipulidaho.org” appears again in white.

On the right side, bold white text reads “Idaho Gives,” with curved lime-green text above a graphic saying “Happening Now.” Below this is a large illustration of a teal alarm clock with an exclamation mark on its face and a small heart notification icon above it, alongside a bell symbol.

Decorative lime-green shapes and lines accent the design, and a white silhouette of the state of Idaho appears along the lower left edge.

A square promotional graphic with a bold, modern design on a deep blue background. In the upper left corner is the logo for Idaho Parents Unlimited, showing three simplified human figures inside a circular emblem with radiating lines.

Large lime-green text dominates the left side and reads: “Idaho Families are struggling. But you can change everything.” The words are arranged in stacked lines and use a clean, sans-serif font.

Abstract lime-green geometric shapes—starbursts, arrows, and blocks—are scattered across the design, mostly on the right side, adding a dynamic, energetic feel.

Near the bottom center are two lime-green buttons. One reads “DONATE NOW,” and the other reads “IPULIDAHO.ORG/DONATE.”

Below the buttons, in smaller white text, is the website: “ipulidaho.org.”

On the lower right side, white text reads: “Idaho Gives Begins 5/4/26 - 5/7/26.”

Overall, the image is a call-to-action encouraging donations during the Idaho Gives campaign, with high contrast colors for visibility.
