Wraparound and the Family First Prevention Services Act: Opportunities and Requirements for States

Date/Time: March 8, 2022, 12:30pm – 2pm PT / 3:30pm – 5pm 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. Wraparound is now eligible for Title IV-E reimbursement under the Family First Prevention Service Act (FFPSA); however, the designation of "Promising" means states that include Wraparound in FFPSA five-year plans must also have a well-designed and rigorous evaluation strategy, as well as a plan for fidelity monitoring and continuous quality improvement (CQI). This webinar will provide a brief background on FFPSA and the Clearinghouse decision for Wraparound, followed by guidance on how to develop a "well-designed and rigorous evaluation strategy" for Wraparound as included in state plans. Q&A and discussion among attendees will follow the presentation.
