The importance of teaming and collaboration to achieve successful outcomes exists at all staffing levels of a Wraparound program; not just among those who work directly with children and families. This workshop focuses on strategies that supervisors; managers and administrators can use to support their programs in becoming more aligned with their partner agencies. Participants will engage in an assessment of program alignment; learn strategies for strengthening alignment and leave with action steps for moving their program toward true integration.

This class focuses on how the housing and human service systems interact: how networks and social capital can build between elements of the two systems. It explores ways in which the differing world views, professional perspectives, and institutional needs of the two systems play out operationally. Part I establishes the nature of the action frames of these two systems. Part II applies these insights to particular vulnerable groups: “at risk” households in transitional housing, the chronically mentally ill, and the frail elderly.

The four videos provided are of a class on the Level of Care Protocol delivered on November 29, 2017. The class follows the same outline that is provided in the trainers guide.

It contains a question and answer period for unanswered questions but note, questions were asked and answered throughout the class. It is important to watch all videos. To be able to follow along and practice the scoring, please have available and read the vignettes for both child welfare (focusing on Marcus) and probation, a matrix, two scoring sheets and a family resource tool.

Short Description:
Learning Lab Contextualised Content (LLCC) is a multidisciplinary suite of digital open educational resources. It supports learners and educators by providing foundation resources in an interactive, flexible, and shareable format. Developed by educators and digital learning designers, the aim of this content is to provide realistic examples of the implementation of skills and knowledge required by students at a tertiary level. Included in the LLCC are materials on a range of subjects from maths, physics, and writing, to critical thinking, collaboration, and time management. The resources encourage learners to think about how they will apply these skills in their future careers and focus on four industry areas: engineering, economics and marketing, healthcare, and social services. All objects sit within a larger story, that of the Salty Creek Community Festival, and can be explored holistically by the learner. However, each learning object is also modular, meaning it can be used as an independent lesson or activity.
