"Wraparound is an intensive, holistic method of engaging with individuals with complex needs (most typically children, youth and their families) so that they can live in their homes and communities and realize their hopes and dreams." - National Wraparound Initiative
Wotakuye Wicakikco: Calling on our Relatives, is a unique training that offers the wisdom of the children, families and the professionals, who implemented the wraparound process in North Dakota. Together, the tribes in North Dakota developed a project that incorporated the teachings of their people with mainstream ideas. The project came to be known as the Sacred Child Project. In 1998,
Jon Eagle was hired as a Care Coordinator for the Sacred Child Project, where he implemented the wraparound process with Native American children and families. He was later hired by the Native American Training Institute in Bismarck, ND as a Systems of Care Training Specialist where he developed the first ever Care Coordinator Certification Training and Curriculum, specifically designed to give Native Americans much needed training and resources to work with youth who had Serious Emotional Disturbances (SED).
The Sacred Child Project was a nationally recognized demonstration project, funded by the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This training is a culmination of years of experience in utilizing the wraparound process with Native American families. Some of our greatest teachers were the children and families we served and the traditional wisdom their natural supports brought to the table.
