WORKSHOP #23 10:30 AM FRIDAY • 1:30 PM SATURDAY • DESTIN 1-2
Implementing, Sustaining, and Expanding the Wraparound Approach
OBJECTIVES—Participants will learn:
1. To describe the key components of implementing wraparound statewide including wraparound enrollment standards
and procedures
2. How to ensure wraparound model fidelity and positive outcomes of wraparound through evaluation
3. How to sustain wraparound by using unique financing strategies across child-serving systems
4. Strategies and methods to provide training, technical assistance, and coaching
5. To identify the important partnerships among state and local communities, youth, and families to improve and
sustain wraparound
This Workshop will focus on how to implement and sustain the wraparound approach broadly throughout states. The
strategies to be highlighted include financing strategies; interagency agreements, training and technical assistance,
evaluation, and wraparound enrollment standards that ensure model fidelity.
The strategies are based on experience in Michigan to implement, expand, and sustain wraparound statewide, including
requirements for all wraparound providers to ensure consistency. These requirements identify wraparound enrollment
standards, address caseload sizes, outline supervisory/coaching requirements, define the role of the community team,
specify training expectations, and include evaluation/fidelity requirements. Michigan’s experience can assist other states
and communities regarding challenges, barriers, and successes of implementing wraparound.
The specific topics to be covered include:
• The process for wide-scale implementation of wraparound
• Lessons learned in implementing wraparound in Michigan to establish wraparound fidelity statewide across childserving
systems
• Wraparound enrollment requirements and procedures
• A training model, requirements, and annual calendar
• Financing structures and how to maximize funding through blended funding strategies
• Strategies for evaluation and sharing wraparound data
• The importance of and strategies for creating partnerships among states and communities, youth, and families
Faculty will use video and demonstrations to illustrate the processes involved in wraparound implementation,
particularly with respect to training. The faculty team will offer the perspective of a state mental health administrator,
national wraparound trainer, and state wraparound training team, all of whom have facilitated wraparound.
