Mental Health Recovery, Including WRAP® Facilitator Training
February 19th,20th & 21st, 2025
Strengthening the Peer Workforce to meet the specific design and needs of the community, and a well-trained direct workforce of mentees, mentors as well as administrative and managerial understanding and engagement. A 3-day WRAP® Facilitator Course is being offered to introduce, engage and educate a broad array of stakeholders, (i.e. staff, administration, family members, advocates and service recipients) followed by an intense 3-day in-person facilitator training.
The WRAP® course aims to build teams that empower individuals with the knowledge, skills, and support to facilitate a successful transition from jails, homeless shelters and treatment facilities. Participants will follow a standard curriculum developed by people with many years of experience in personal recovery and overcoming the challenges of incarceration, addictions, institutionalization, homelessness, and discrimination to prepare people with these lived experiences to bring effective peer support and mentorship to engage, activate and inspire self-determination for others to improve the quality of their life.
Spaces are limited and training will be offered on a rolling basis.
WRAP® is a structured system that helps individuals monitor distressing or troubling feelings and behaviors. It empowers individuals to develop strategies and action plans to effectively address these experiences. By providing WRAP® support groups and training, the organization supports individuals in their journey toward mental health recovery and self-management.
Evidence Based Parenting Program
One New Heartbeat's Evidence-Based Parenting Program (EBPP) is an adaptation of the Effective Black Parenting Program, originally developed by the CICC, to be more inclusive and meet the diverse needs of the population we serve. This program is now open to all parents and caregivers of minority children, though the tools, strategies, and techniques it offers are valuable for anyone parenting or caregiving for youth up to the age of 24. Initially designed as a 15-session program for small groups, our EBPP has been restructured into a 14-session program that meets twice weekly, accommodating groups of 10-12 parents per session, each lasting 3 hours. Participants culminate their journey with a graduation ceremony in the 15th session. Additionally, we offer a condensed one-day seminar format for larger groups. The EBPP is also widely disseminated through instructor training workshops conducted nationwide.
EVIDENCE BASED PARENTING PROGRAM OUTLINE
EBPP aims to promote family pride and cohesion. In the first session, instructors introduce a framework called the Pyramid of Success to help parents set goals for their children and identify what their children need to reach those goals. The remaining sessions teach parenting skills and educate parents on how children learn and develop. Skills taught include setting family rules, using positive consequences to reward respectful and desirable child behavior, and using corrective consequences to address disrespectful and undesirable child behavior. The program also addresses the topics of drug use, single parenting, and child abuse. After each session, parents are provided with home activities to practice the skills taught during the session.
Expected Outcomes/Key Metrics: Through funding this Evidence Based Practice and Community Driven Evidence Based Practice, DHCS and ONHB expects to strengthen positive parenting practices, improve the response to emotional and behavioral challenges commonly experienced in childhood, promote child social and emotional development, improve caregiver involvement and relationships with children, and increase support for individuals that may be experiencing heightened levels of caregiver-related stress among other outcomes.
