CCSI Wraparound Training Materials

Wraparound is a planning process that follows a series of steps to help children and their families realize their hopes and dreams. The wraparound process also helps make sure children and youth grow up in their homes and communities. It is a planning process that brings people together from different parts of the whole family’s life. With help from one or more facilitators, people from the family’s life work together, coordinate their activities, and blend their perspectives of the family’s situation.

Wraparound may look different from one community to another. There also may be different types of facilitators. Though it may look different across communities, wraparound should always be driven by the CCSI principles. In addition, wraparound should always follow the same basic phases and activities. This curriculum describes each of these phases and activities. (Adapted from the National Wraparound Initiative - http://www.rtc.pdx.edu/nwi/)

The CCSI Tier III Committee partnered with the SUNY Research Foundation, the Professional Development Program, and the Center for Human Services Research to develop and test the curriculum files you will find on this site.

Materials can be used by localities, counties, and regions as they see fit, so long as the copyright information remains on all presentation materials and handouts. The curriculum is modular and intended to be presented from start to finish. However, trainers and trainees may choose to use portions of the full set of materials depending on the training/presentation venue and audience.
