Wraparound Evaluation & Research Team
|
The wraparound
process is a widely-implemented approach to community-based treatment
for children with emotional and behavioral disorders and their families.
However, despite a history of practice innovations nationwide, the absence
of standards and fully described practice procedures has frustrated
providers and hindered development of a wraparound research base. The
National Wraparound Initiative is an attempt to engage experts nationally
in a process of defining standards and compiling specific strategies
for conducting high-quality wraparound.

 Unconditional Care vs. Persistence: New PDF Document
Advisors of the NWI have been revisiting the name and definition of one of the ten principles of wraparound. This principle was originally described as "Unconditional Care," but was re-named "Persistence" during the original NWI work in 2004 on clarifying the principles. The discussion was re-opened at the suggestion of a number of advisors. Recently, 100 NWI advisors participated in a feedback process expressing their views on two versions of the principles. This process revealed a high level of agreement about what the principle is intended to represent, but disagreement about the better name for the principle. More advisors expressed a preference for "Unconditional Care."
