Wraparound Training
The Wraparound training series is designed as a cohort-based training model where each training builds upon the skills introduced in the prior session. With this model, the participants skill will be developed as they complete each training. Therefore, the training series must be completed in the sequence and within the time-frames as developed. The Introduction to Wraparound training is the first in the series. Approximately one month later, it is followed by Engagement in Wraparound Practice. The final training in the Wraparound series is Intermediate Wraparound Practice. This is held approximately 6 months after Introduction.
Wraparound facilitators and supervisors must participate in the Wraparound training series: Introduction to Wraparound, Engagement in the Wraparound Process, and Intermediate Wraparound Practice. In addition, supervisors are expected to participate in a 2-day Advanced Supervision in Wraparound course once a year. Subsequently, in order to bill for the provision of ICM, direct service providers must (see also Basic Training Series below):
- Complete the initial course in the training series (Introduction to Wraparound) prior to the provision of services, and to continue billing for ICM
- Complete the remaining two courses of the series (Engagement in the Wraparound Process and Intermediate Wraparound Practice) within one year
