When we first
joined wraparound,
we were clueless. You see, my brother had just
come home from
being in a placement and we had no idea how to
talk to him, joke with him, play with him, or
anything.
Like I
said, we were clueless.
The Wrap Team jumped right in to our fiasco of a
family and turned
it
all
around. They taught us how to work together as a
family. The first thing we did was begin
brainstorming
everyone's strengths. That was great for us
because we had to think of positive things about
each
other, not negative . It's so easy to see the
bad in each other, but you have to look deeper
to see the
good. The Wrap Team then asked us how we would
describe our family in one sentence. I
never told anyone this, but at that time I
probably would have thought of our family as an
overly busy family,
with
no social life, bustling about
with
no hope of moving forward in our life .You
see, Wraparound brought us that hope. Now I
would describe us as a loving family moving
forward each
and every day.
