The Core Theme: "That Wasn't Very Strengths-Based of You!"

This year's theme, "That Wasn't Very Strengths-Based of You!", invites professionals to rethink how we engage youth, families, organizations, and communities through a strengths-based lens. While the theme brings a touch of humor, the message is powerful: every conversation, decision, and interaction has the potential to either build hope or create barriers. Together, we'll explore how to ensure our work consistently reflects the values at the heart of High-Fidelity Wraparound.

Over three inspiring days, nationally recognized experts, practitioners, family and youth partners, supervisors, leaders, researchers, and community stakeholders will come together to explore what it truly means to lead with strengths. Through engaging keynote presentations, interactive breakout sessions, and meaningful networking opportunities, attendees will discover practical strategies for strengthening engagement with youth and families, transforming organizations and communities, elevating High-Fidelity Wraparound practice, and amplifying the voices of individuals and families with lived experience. No matter your role, you'll leave with fresh perspectives, actionable tools, and renewed inspiration to create lasting impact in the communities you serve.

TRACK 1- Strengths Before Strategies: Mastering the Art of Engagement

Every successful Wraparound journey begins with meaningful relationships. This track explores how practitioners can intentionally build trust, identify strengths, and engage youth, families, and natural supports in authentic partnerships. Sessions will focus on communication techniques, motivational interviewing, family voice and choice, creative engagement strategies, and transforming difficult conversations into opportunities for connection. Attendees will leave with practical tools to ensure every interaction starts with strengths rather than problems.

TRACK 2 – That Wasn't Very Strengths-Based of Your System: Transforming Organizations & Communities

Sometimes the greatest barriers to success are the systems designed to help families. This track challenges leaders, supervisors, policymakers, and community partners to examine organizational culture, policies, and practices through a strengths-based lens. Presentations will explore systems transformation, collaborative leadership, cross-system partnerships, workforce development, implementation science, and creating environments where both families and professionals can thrive.

TRACK 3 – From Compliance to Commitment: Elevating Wraparound Practice

High-fidelity Wraparound is more than completing forms and following procedures, it's about creating lasting change through purposeful practice. This track focuses on advancing practitioner skills using evidence-informed strategies, coaching, fidelity, facilitation techniques, and real-world problem solving. Participants will discover innovative approaches that move beyond compliance and inspire commitment to delivering exceptional, family-driven Wraparound services.

TRACK 4 – Celebrating Strengths, Amplifying Voices: Lived Expertise and Family Leadership

Strengths-based practice means recognizing the unique strengths, cultures, identities, and lived experiences that every individual and family brings to the table. This track highlights the importance of cultural responsiveness, youth and family leadership, and authentic community partnerships. Sessions will explore ways to eliminate barriers, elevate lived expertise, and build systems where every voice is valued, respected, and empowered to lead.
