3. What is Wraparound? Wraparound is . . . a philosophy of care that includes a definable planning process involving the child and family that results in a unique set of community services and natural supportsindividualized for that child and family to achieve a positive set of outcomes.

5. Wraparound Values: Strengths-based: Building on people’s strengths helps reduce or cope better with needs…it also helps team members feel hope

6. Wraparound Values: Family is a full participant in planning…

7. EMPOWERING PARENTS “The people who the plan affects most should have the most ownership of it”… Lucille Eber, The Art and Science of Wraparound

8. Wraparound Values: Culturally Competent: Make sure there is someone at the table that the family can relate to

9. Wraparound Values: Needs-driven: By assessing the needs carefully, we can make more effective plans Avoid the “categorical approach”, i.e. all kids with ADHD need this service…

10. Wraparound Values: Individualized Planning: Unique to the child/family to really meet their needs Avoid “cookie cutter” approaches

11. Wraparound Values: Find Natural Supports! Reduce reliance on formal (paid for) support and help empower the family

12. Colleagues Friends Extended Family Neighbors Coaches Clergy Bus Drivers Babysitters/childcare providers School Custodian Crossing Guard Classmates Examples of Natural Supports

13. Wraparound Values: Service Coordination or Wraparound Facilitation (case management) The “hub” of the Wraparound Wheel for the entire Team!

14. Key Ideas • The team members represent strengths, needs and choices of the youth and family • Natural support persons are important team members to ensure cultural fit, independence and sustainable change over time • The team focuses on needs identified and prioritized by the family, youth and teachers • The family feels like it is their team and their meeting instead of feeling like they are attending a meeting a system is having about them!

15. So how do we start this process?! • STEP 1: Involving the Family • STEP 2: Building a Service Team • STEP 3: Conducting Service Team Meetings

16. Steps for Developing a Wraparound Plan Step 1: Initial Conversations (story) Step 2: Start Meeting with Strengths Step 3: Develop a Mission Statement Step 4: Identify Needs across Domains Step 5: Prioritize Needs Step 6: Develop Actions Step 7: Assign Tasks/Solicit Commitments Step 8: Document the Plan: Evaluate, Refine, Monitor Transition, & Celebrate Successes

17. Examples of meeting rules • We only share information that is useful for productive problem solving • Everyone’s voice is valued and respected; everyone’s opinion counts • We will be supportive rather than judgmental • No put downs or interruptions • We will monitor each other to remain strength-based

18. Other rules… • The family chooses what information about them is shared at meetings • All team discussions will be considered confidential
