Numerous KVC Kentucky clinicians and service coordinators recently attended a three day Wrap+MAP training with Dr. Eric Bruns of the National Wraparound Implementation Center and Adam Bernstein of Practice Wise. Wraparound is an intensive, holistic method of engaging with individuals with complex needs so that they can live in their homes and communities and realize their hopes and dreams.

This exciting pilot project, funded in part by the Kentucky Initiative for Collaborative Change grant, is a collaboration of three behavioral health agencies in Kentucky and is supported by the Department of Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities. Participants learned cutting-edge clinical and service coordination interventions by national experts and will continue to receive consultation for six months following the in-person training. In addition, two MAP Agency Supervisors from KVC attended the training to continue the requirements to becoming certified MAP trainers. KVC Kentucky is excited to have the opportunity to be part of this wonderful initiative in Kentucky.
