What You'll Learn

The Family and Adult Support Tool (FAST) is a multiple purpose information integration tool that is designed to be the output of an assessment process. The FAST Singapore version, adapted from Child and Adolescents Needs and Strengths (CANS), the original Family Advocacy Support Tool (FAST), and Adults Needs and Strengths Assessment (ANSA) which are developed by the John Praed Foundation. The overall purpose is to facilitate an understanding of the needs and strengths of the families served and to bring to bear effective interventions that will help change lives. The FAST accurately represents the shared vision of the needs of the individual and the family in the community. The output is then used to inform a variety of activities at different levels of the system, from service planning at the individual level to resource management at the system level and the monitoring of service outcomes (i.e. Transformational Collaborative Outcomes Management (TCOM) approach).
