The NWI works to promote understanding about the components and benefits of wraparound. For more details please visit: http://www.nwi.pdx.edu/ In 2004, stakeholders—including families, youth, providers, researchers, trainers, administrators and others—came together in a collaborative effort to better specify the wraparound practice model, compile specific strategies and tools, and disseminate information about how to implement wraparound in a way that can achieve positive outcomes for youth and families. The NWI now supports youth, families, and communities through work that emphasizes four primary functions: Supporting community-level planning and implementation Promoting professional development of wraparound staff Ensuring accountability Sustaining a vibrant and interactive national community of practice The NWI is membership supported. You can join the NWI to help continue this important work!
