We hope this exciting new project will provide a means of relevant, efficient and effective training for Wraparound professionals nationally.

Help Build a Booster Training Library!
If you're excited about our booster training project – please help us! We are looking for videos of one-to-one interactions between a Wraparound facilitator and a young person, family member or other team member. Participants are eligible for incentives. Please contact John Ossowski for more details.

New TA Resource: Coordinating Wraparound with Evidence-Based Clinical Care
In response to the technical assistance questions we are most frequently asked, the NWI has produced a series of TA resources that summarize current research and implementation best practices in Wraparound. The third in this series covers the topic of combining Wraparound with evidence-based clinical care and features a collection of links to pertinent documents, webinars and other sources. Other installments in the series will be highlighted in upcoming newsletters.
