If we believe that families hold the keys of wisdom to knowing what they really need in order to be self sufficient and thriving, then should we be extremely thoughtful about the ways in which we communicate with all members within the circle of support for each family? Should we consider modifications to current thought processes as to how, in the future, we can train our own staff to partner most effectively? Using a technique called appreciative inquiry, participants will explore conversations about how listening and the conscious pooling of collective strengths can transform how we relate to each other every day in our most significant and impactful field of work. Goal setting strategies will be presented for discussion and one of the most effective secrets to creating, sustaining and deepening the quality of our relationships will be revealed for consideration among the engaged participants in this workshop.

Staff employed within Wraparound programs often work with very intense and complex families which may cause greater risk of staff experiencing compassion fatigue, team conflict and burn out.

This presentation will detail the structure of Casa Pacifica’s Wraparound program in Santa Barbara county—in particular, the implementation of peer support supervisors titled lead supervisors and the benefits of having lead supervisors address the challenges Wraparound staff experience regularly.
