“…Of these 4,000 youth, 32% or 1,280 were African American, more than 62% or 2,480 were males, and 1,826 of these youth were in an "out of home" placement (DCF, 2012c). To plan for these "transitional aged" youth, there needs to be increased knowledge of existing resources and collaboration among entities (McGill & McGill, 2011). …”

“…The incorporation of the YANSA into the IMDS repertoire would be a significant step in building a systemic "bridge" in assisting the "emerging adult" population in the planning process into appropriate adult services (McGill & McGill, 2011). The addition of such a communication tool would assist in more effective planning for transition across systems, in particular, child/youth and adult service systems.…”

“…An updated IMDS tool which targets the particular needs of this “emerging adult” group can be easily incorporated to New Jersey’s system of care. The IMDS tools currently utilized are primarily static as to their uses and have been designed for a generic population of age 5 through 18 years (McGill & McGill, 2011). However, there is a more appropriate transitioning form of the CANS called the Adult Needs and Strength Assessment (ANSA), which has been further developed into a CANS version specifically appropriate for the 16- to 25-year-old population called the Young Adult Needs and Strength Assessment or YANSA (Praed Foundation, 2012b).…”

New Jersey has made significant investments in their creation of a “statewide” reform to better serve the most vulnerable children and their families. Many states can learn from New Jersey’s statewide reform, which now celebrates completion of its first decade. This article details the historic timeline of the implementation processes as well as the structural components of a system of care. The particular role of each system entity is identified as well as their adaptation of the Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) assessment tool to best serve the children/youth in a statewide system of care. This article also examines the methods for effectively training and embedding the CANS tools within New Jersey’s Division of Children’s System of Care (DCSOC). As the children’s system of care (SOC) celebrates a milestone and its second decade of existence, much data have been accumulated with the next logical step being a series of reviews and systemic update. Result shows the need for planning for transitioning to adulthood especially among a population profile or 16 years and older, which we referred to as “emerging adult” population.
