What does the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tool provide information for?

Trauma-informed decisions and data documentation
Enabling communication about clients' needs and strengths
Interfering with clear thinking and decision-making
A pattern of coercive control in abusive relationships

The correct answer is: Trauma-informed decisions and data documentation

The Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) tool provides information for trauma-informed decisions and data documentation. This means that by using the CANS tool, professionals can make decisions that take into account the potential impact of trauma on children and adolescents while also documenting data in a way that is sensitive to their needs. This tool helps ensure that interventions and services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual while promoting a trauma-informed approach to care. Option B is incorrect because the CANS tool goes beyond just enabling communication and includes a structured assessment process. Options C and D are not relevant to the purpose of the CANS tool in child welfare practice.
