Wrap-Around Training: What is it?

What’s wrap-around training? It’s training that supplements the core training provided to staff on the implementation of a particular program model. The thinking is that there are some general topics that staff in each home visiting, health ambassador, and parent education programs will find useful and it will be more efficient to deliver training sessions on those topics to everyone at one time. The added bonus – you get to meet and learn from other professionals who are doing the same kind of work you are! Together you can reflect on your work and support each other as you enhance your expertise.

Why Wrap-Around Training?

The purpose of the wrap-around training and technical assistance described here is to assure that staff in all of Delaware’s home visiting/health ambassador programs are trained to provide effective, high quality services for families and children to reach the home visiting benchmarks of:

• reduced child injury, abuse, and neglect
• reduced domestic violence rates
• improved maternal and childhood health and development
• increased school readiness

Sponsored by:

• Delaware’s Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program
• Delaware Health and Social Services
• Division of Public Health
