HF Wraparound is a completely different way of organizing help when children or youth experience serious mental health or behavioral challenges. Wraparound puts the child or youth and family at the center. With support from a team of professionals, service providers and identified family supports, the family’s ideas and perspectives about what they need and what will be helpful, drive all of the work in Wraparound. It enables the family to take the lead and develop creative and individualized services and supports that will help them achieve their own vision for their family.
The young person and their family members work with a credentialed Wraparound facilitator to build their Wraparound team. Team members work together to put the plan into action, monitor how well it is working, and change it as needed. The Wraparound process takes place across four phases: Engagement and team preparation, Initial plan development, Implementation, and Transition.
