Engage in a role-play of Step 1 of the wraparound process, “the initial conversation” (see set-up below) with two classmate. Play the role of the potential facilitator of a wrap team and have a classmate play a student and another their parent or a faculty member (i.e. counselor or teacher or principal) from their neighborhood school. Alternate roles. Initial conversations are done one-on-one so one classmate will be a silent observer until it is their turn to be in the role-play.

If possible, engage a youth/family you are working with in an initial conversation in preparation for developing a team and plan with them.

Role-play set-up:

Have a conversation with a student/family/school staff member as preparation to designing a wrap team and a plan. Use page 2 and 3 of the CTPF to document strengths and needs of the student/family based on these conversations. Use their words and language as much as possible. Be sure to address multiple settings and multiple life domains as you prompt and ask questions.. Use handouts 4.1-4.5 as you prepare to have these conversations. Remember to engage them in conversation rather than simply interview them! See Handout 4.6 for CTPF.

Discuss and describe your reactions to this process (was it hard? easy? why?) or questions that you have based on this role-play experience.
