Dan Thorne
Family stress in Wraparound treatment is an unmet need
and not addressed within the practice’s format. Moreover; staff need the skills
to augment the program goals of permanency and safety within the family. This
presentation will discuss the PRAXES parenting empowerment model; which has
been successfully used in California; along with its new companion model for
children and youth. Together; these models help to reduce stress; improve
treatment engagement; increase positive behavior and develop family cohesion.
