    Episode 9: Family Voice and Choice: How Wraparound Services Embody the Spirit of Person-Centered Care

    WBH’s CEO Adam Marquis and Chief Clinical Officer (CCO) Elizabeth Limbocker, discuss the Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) program and its connection to person-centered care. Our WISe program allows families receiving our services to have a complete voice in their care plans. The WISe program also allows families and WISe Teams to utilize a vast network of human relationships to assist with care such as friends, schools, and members of the community. Elizabeth and Adam discuss WISe as a support system, how families can seek WISe services, the voice of the client in their care plans while receiving WISe services, Child and Family Team meetings, and all of the wonderful people involved in the healing process.

    Episode 6: What is Person-Centered Care?

    What is Person-Centered Care? Adam and Milt discuss partnering with a person to achieve their goals. We recognize that every person has unique needs, strengths, and gaps that they desire to narrow or close permanently. This is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of recognizing a strengths-based approach to care. We encourage your feedback. Do you agree that focusing on one’s strengths is an important part of goal-setting? Leave us some feedback!

    Episode 5: The Trauma Narrative

    Adam and Milt discuss the meaning of trauma-informed care. Adam talks about the “trauma narrative” and how we all have one—to some extent—going back to childhood. This informs our personality and patterns of thinking and behaviors. Also, Adam discusses individual values and beliefs and the difference between thinking about changing your actions versus acting to change your thinking. And finally, the topic of Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is broached. EMDR is a form of psychotherapy developed by Francine Shapiro in the 1990s.
