This second edition, by Karl W. Dennis -- known as the "father of wraparound care" -- and child psychologist Ira S. Lourie, includes eight new previously unpublished, uplifting stories from Dennis about his experiences providing services for children and youth with serious emotional difficulties and their families at the Chicago-based Kaleidoscope. Also included is a new look at Unconditional Care as the way to provide services for this population, and as the underpinning of Wraparound services, and a highlighting of Family Strengths and Family Voice and Choice in the care of children and adolescents.

August is Stationery Month! Help us celebrate by giving back. We are raffling SIX Stationery Goodie Bags (retail value $100 each) this month to benefit Emma Goldman Clinic. Tickets are $10 each and all ticket sales will be donated (and matched by r.s.v.p. AND an anonymous donor). This means your $10 becomes $30! The drawing will be the end of August, so pop in when you’re in the neighborhood!
