The Michigan Wraparound Bootcamp, April 2009:  The MI Wrap Bootcamp was the speed dating version of wraparound training.  Pat, Neil and John each presented 6 workshops within a 2 day span.  The following were John's 6 workshops.  Take a deep breath and jump in.

Reduced funding for human services have caused many agencies to drop or dramatically reduce the training opportunities they are able to offer for their staff.   The following web-based presentations are offered as a small alternative.  The Hows and Whys of Wraparound is an in depth examination of the theoretical foundations for wraparound as well as a discussion of how to do wraparound planning, and a description of some of the pitfalls to avoid.  Authentic Intervention is a workshop on using a strength-based and family-centered approach in child welfare practice.  And finally, Goodness of Fit is an introduction to the challenges of using wraparound in a managed care environment.  Although clicking through an on-line presentation is no replacement for the give and take and mutual support at an in-person workshop, I hope that you find these offerings to be somewhat helpful.  And you can always click through them with a friend or two.

The San Francisco Wraparound Institute:  This was a 5 day workshop presented over the course of three months in late 2007 and early 2008 by John, Pat and Joe Anne Hust.  The first two day session focused on the basic elements of the wraparound method, the second two days on the application of the method and two special issues: developing safety and crisis plans and the art of facilitation.  The final day was the Wrap Olympics, a chance for the participants to practice what they learned.
