NWI Webinar and Guidance Briefs – Wraparound and the FFPSA: Opportunities and Requirements

Webinar Date/Time: March 8, 2022, 12:30pm PT / 3:30pm ET

"Intensive Care Coordination Using a High Fidelity Wraparound Process" is now listed by the federal Administration for Children and Families (ACF) on the Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse of research supported programs, and so is now eligible for Title IV-E reimbursement under the Family First Prevention Service Act (FFPSA). The NWI has developed several resources—and will be presenting a webinar—to help states and other stakeholders understand the implications of this decision, as well as what they must do in order to include Wraparound in their FFPSA five-year plans.
