In theory (i.e., when wraparound is
implemented as intended), good things happen
y High-quality
g q
y teamwork and flexible funds leads to enhanced
creativity, better plans, and better fit between family needs and
services/supports

This in turn leads to greater relevance for families, less dropout

to more complete engagement of families
y As family works with a team to solve its own problems, develops
family members
members’ self-efficacy
self efficacy
y Individualization and strengths focus enhances cultural competence,
relevance, and acceptability
y Focus on setting goals and measuring outcomes leads to more

Community partnership: Do we have collaboration across our
key systems and stakeholders?
Collaborative action: Do the stakeholders take concrete steps to
translate the wraparound philosophy into concrete policies,
policies
practices and achievements?
Fiscal policies: Do we have the funding and fiscal strategies to
meet the needs of children participating in wraparound?
Service
i array: Do teams have
h
access to the
h services
i
and
d supports
they need to meet families’ needs?
Human resource development: Do we have the right jobs,
caseloads, and wo
working
king conditions? Aree people suppo
supported
ted with
coaching, training, and supervision?
Accountability: Do we use tools that help us make sure we’re
doing a good job?
Human Resource Development:
Necessary
y Conditions
y The job expectations of people with primary roles for carrying
out wraparound (e.g., wraparound facilitators, parent partners)
affords them adequate time, flexibility, and resources and
encourages them to implement high-fidelity wraparound.
y The job expectations of people who participate on
wraparound teams (e.g., providers and partner agency staff)
affords them adequate time, flexibility, and resources to participate
f ll iin team meetings
fully
i
and
d to carry out their
h i assigned
i
d tasks
k ffor
implementing wraparound plans.
y Caseload sizes for people with primary roles for carrying out
wraparound
d (e.g.,
(
wraparound
d ffacilitators,
ili
parent partners)) allow
ll
them to consistently and thoroughly complete the activities of the
wraparound process.
Human Resource Development:
Necessary
y Conditions
y People with primary roles for carrying out wraparound (e.g.,
wraparound
d facilitators,
f ili
parent partners)) receive
i comprehensive
h
i
training, shadow experienced workers prior to working
independently, and receive ongoing coaching that focuses on
systematically developing needed skills.
y People with primary roles for carrying out wraparound (e.g.,
wraparound facilitators, parent partners) receive regular
individual and group supervision, and periodic "in-vivo"
(observation) supervision from supervisors who are
knowledgeable about wraparound and proficient in the skills needed
to carry out the wraparound process.
y Compensation for people with primary roles for carrying out
wraparound (e.g., wraparound facilitators, parent partners) reflects
their value and encourages staff retention and commitment. These
people
p
p have opportunities
pp
for career advancement based on the skills
they acquire with wraparound.
Obtaining Training, Coaching, and
Technical Assistance
y Recommendations from the National Wraparound Initiative:
¾
¾
¾
TA should attend to the need to facilitate system- and organizational
supports for wraparound
Expectations for all key roles in wraparound should be clearly
defined (e.g., facilitator, family/youth partner, supervisor, coach,
clinicians)

Beginning soon, Medicaid will be used to pay for youth enrolled in the
Waiver (transferring all eligible children who were in the Pilot Project into
the Waiver).
State match funds will come from the Children’s Cabinet
The Waiver is eligible for the enhanced Federal Financial Participation rate
under the Stimulus Package
y Next step: Expand the Waiver to the entire state so that all youth being
served through CSI and Rehab Option can be funded through Medicaid.
