Upcoming Webinar: How Do Program and System Factors Influence Wraparound?

January Webinar: “How Do Program and System Factors Influence Wraparound Implementation, Fidelity, and Sustainment?”
Date/Time: January 20, 2021, 11am PT / 2pm ET
Wraparound care coordination has been shown to be capable of promoting more positive outcomes for youth and families with complex needs. However, practitioners, technical assistance providers, program and system leaders, and youth and family advocates have all observed how the complexity of children’s service systems can make it challenging to provide high quality and effective Wraparound. This webinar presents new research that aims to answer several critical questions about what drives Wraparound implementation success.

New Wraparound Research Featured at Annual National Institute of Mental Health Conference on Implementation
Research on Wraparound is increasingly prominent in the field of Implementation Science. As a latest example, a new paper, Influences of inner and outer settings on Wraparound implementation, by Jonathan Olson, Ph.D., and other members of the University of Washington Wraparound Evaluation and Research Team and National Wraparound Implementation Center was one of only a handful of submissions selected from many hundreds for this year’s Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health. If you’d like to see the presentation, you can attend the D&I Conference, which will be held virtually December 15–17 (or see an expanded version during the January webinar).
