Wraparound is a comprehensive and proven treatment modality for children and teens needing intensive supports in their home community. Using a carefully designed and highly customized planning process, the intention is to “wrap” the child (and family) with support systems, relevant resources in their community, and everyday environments. The goal is to either keep youth from transitioning to a higher, more intensive level of care (i.e., Residential Treatment) or to successfully transition a child from a high-level of care back home.
To achieve success wraparound requires participation from both the child and the family, holding great significance in building a plan for the entire family that is individualized, strength-based, and community-resource driven. The plan truly needs to have “buy in” and ultimately “work” for the family. Key components include safety planning and family-driven goal setting, which helps build a team to support the family and connect them to resources in their community. It will also help increase self-sufficiency and stability in the home.
