The Praed Foundation hosts a 3-day international TCOM Conference each year in the Fall in a variety of cities across the country. Each year, we have attendees and presentations from almost every state and a few countries that are reflective of the use of Transformational Collaborative Outcomes Management (TCOM) and its tools. TCOM is the conceptual framework for the ANSA, CANS, FAST, and other TCOM tools. For more information about TCOM, visit us at praedfoundation.org/tcom/tcom-tools.
History of the Conference
The annual TCOM Conference started in 2004 and was originally branded as the CANS Conference. The CANS (Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths) was the first tool developed under the TCOM framework in the theory of Communimetrics. Since then, the entire collaboration has grown to 160,000 people who certify on the TCOM tools each year. The tools have also expanded to reflect the breadth and depth of the population we all serve.
Who Attends the Conference
For nearly two decades, the national TCOM Conference has provided a platform for the field to meet up, develop their skills, and share their knowledge.
We invite all that are interested in TCOM or curious about the work that we do to attend our annual event. Presentation topics vary from data analytics, implementation, family support, and many others. We hope all that are involved in TCOM (research, coaching, family advocates, and more) attend our annual TCOM Conference.
Conference announcements will be posted here on the blog.
