wraparound
Wraparound is a planning process to help families with complex needs meet their full potential. The wraparound process is a collaborative effort to develop a needs and strength-driven plan built on family strengths and created through a supportive child and family team. Child and Family Teams can include family members, friends, neighbors, mentors, schools, social service agencies, or other service providers. Teams are created according to who the family wants to support them through the wraparound process.

HOW DOES WRAPAOURND WORK?
High Fidelity Wraparound brings together all of those working with a youth and family to work together to assure that services are aligned, coordinated, and streamlined. The steps in the process include:

A Facilitator will welcome you and your family into the program and explain the process, your rights and confidentiality. You’ll be asked to complete intake forms.
help.
You and the Facilitator will identify a group of people to work with you to develop a plan to meet your family’s needs.

As your situation improves, you’ll plan for the time when Service Coordination is no longer needed. You’ll have the chance to celebrate your family’s achievements and next steps.
high-fidelity wraparound
The High-Fidelity Wraparound process strives to keep youth in communities and with their families whenever possible. The team works to create new, highly individualized interventions and supports, that focus on the entire family unit.
SERVICE COORDINATION & WRAPAROUND
Provide cross-system, team-based approaches for planning and coordinating care for families with youth who are involved with multiple systems or at risk for out-of-home placement.
Service Coordination and Wraparound are not meant to take the place of traditional care management offered by community agencies; but rather, are meant to bring together all those working to support the family to ensure that services are aligned, coordinated, streamlined.
A neutral Facilitator guides participants to ensure the processes are:
family determined
Families will be asked their opinion and perspective. Planning will prioritize and reflect family preferences.
strength based
Planning identifies the knowledge, skills, and assets of youth, family,
other team members and the community.
needs based
Facilitators focus on getting to
the root of the situation to understand the true cause
collaborative
Facilitators work with the youth, family, service providers and community members to share their ideas, perspectives and resources to develop and implement a coordinated plan.
