The Center for Innovative Practices (CIP), part of the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education at Case Western Reserve University’s Jack, Joseph, and Morton Mandel School of Social Services, announces a new partnership as part of an Ohio state-wide initiative designed to help introduce and further train Ohio clinicians and caregivers to Wraparound systems of care services and how to implement them in their counties and communities to help youth in recovery and their families.
To help counties prepare for Ohio’s expansion of High Fidelity Wraparound, Ohio Family and Children First (OFCF) in collaboration with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) and the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OHMHAS) are partnering with the CIP to offer a series of Wraparound trainings, learning communities, and capacity development planning meetings for interested communities.

From the State of Ohio
The State of Ohio is transforming its approach to children, youth, and families who require support from multiple state systems, to achieve a widespread and sustainable system of care across Ohio.
The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS), in conjunction with the Departments of: Job and Family Services, Medicaid, Youth Services, Developmental Disabilities, and Health and the Ohio Family and Children First, issued an RFP to develop and implement a Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (CABH COE).
The role of the CABH COE will be to assist the State in system transformation efforts by providing technical assistance, training, professional development, coaching, consultation, evaluation, fidelity monitoring, and continuous quality improvement to build and sustain capacity in delivering evidence-based practices to fidelity within a system of care framework.
OhioMHAS is pleased to announce that Case Western Reserve University’s Center for Innovative Practices at the Begun Center for Violence Prevention Research and Education, at the Jack, Joseph, Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, have been selected to implement the CABH COE.
The Center for Innovative Practices has decades of experience and is highly qualified to develop, manage, and oversee the work of Ohio’s CABH COE.
