Vroon VDB LLC (VVDB) was the leading wraparound training, coaching, and consulting company dedicated to supporting improved access to high fidelity wraparound for individuals and families across North America. VVDB supports the development, quality improvement, and continual innovation of the wraparound and MiiWrap processes. VVDB has pioneered the individualization of the wraparound process across the country, helping programs meet the needs of their specialized populations. VVDB has done extensive implementation research to improve the process. We have recently developed our newest model, MiiWrap which we are tremendously excited about. It takes the essential aspects of each evidenced-based practice, and integrates them into a more powerful and synergized process for helping individuals and families. Take a look at the blogs by VVDB on Wraparound and MiiWrap innovations, and join in the discussion through one of the social media outlets. Also, take a look around our website and see what you can learn and what we can do for you
Engagement and motivation are essential to staff success at mastering MiiWrap. We increase both when we meet learners where they are, offer extra help that they need, and show them that we really see their work and care about their progress.
The process of learning can be messy, and hard to predict. But the alternative is much bleaker – failure to learn. I think we both know what the families enrolled in your services hope you are choosing.
A person had to chop down a large area of trees with a dull axe. He was asked “is the time spent sharpening the axe worth the effort over time?” With a growing number of families facing great difficulties, I know that learning and certification of MiiWrap is truly worth the time and effort. – David Duresky
Deeper, more flexible skills are best developed by engaging directly with other, more knowledgeable people. If you are trying to learn something complicated, that has to be customized, that requires you to think differently (like MiiWrap), then you need a real person to talk it through with.
Debriefing is a skillset. This is why we have created Coach Debrief Guides for each of our Foundations Modules. They lay out exactly what needs to happen and in what order. The coach just needs to enter the specific learner information for each section, and then follow the guide when debriefing.
A core obligation of any coach is to make sure that their learners are really learning. That doesn’t just happen – you need a plan that involves collecting real evidence. See our plan to understand what we mean.
