D7 Wraparound in the Educational Setting

Marsha Lewis-Akyeem; Maria Rodriguez

This workshop will present various options to implementing Wraparound practice and principles for schools; with education as the system initiating the need for Wraparound for children and families. The workshop will cover two educational service delivery models and funding streams: Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMH S) and School-based Wraparound. The ERMH S Wraparound Program provides an alternative to out-of-home placement for children who have not been able to access their education with less-intensive interventions. The workshop will cover School-based Wraparound Programs focused on addressing familial needs that impede children’s ability to access their education.
