High Fidelity Wraparound Services

What is High Fidelity Wraparound Services?

Pikes Peak Respite Services is now providing Intensive Support and Transition Support through High Fidelity Wraparound and In-Home Support Services. 

What is High Fidelity Wraparound (HFW)?

Wraparound is an individualized, culturally responsive process that is used to coordinate care and build self-efficacy for families with complex needs. This approach addresses the family’s prioritized needs, meets all system mandates, and coordinates all the family’s services in one plan. 

Eligibility: Wraparound is for children and youth with complex needs and who are in or at risk for out-of-home placement. 

Facilitator (or Coordinator): A person who maintains a neutral position and bring together the family, agencies, and the neutral and informal supports in the family’s life. 

Professionals: May include representatives from agencies or school districts as well as mental and physical health providers. It is likely that one of these individuals made the original referral to Wraparound. 

Professionals commit to:

-Embracing and participating fully in the team process – not a warm handoff

-Representing the requirements of your agency and serve the family

-Ensuring that all planning is integrated with the Wraparound process 

Support Partner: Someone with lived experience who provides peer support to the family and youth. 

Natural Supports: Individuals who are already a part of the family’s circle or they are part of the family’s life because of Wraparound. Natural supports commit to:

-Helping build the family’s sustainability in the community 

-Playing an increasingly prominent role in the family’s Wraparound plan

-By transition, being involved in at least half of the strategies in the plan

Wraparound Team Responsibilities:

-Be non-judgmental and maintain a strengths-based perspective. Listen with an open mind and do not react negatively to feelings or beliefs.  

-Look beyond a family member or youth’s behavior and consider their past trauma, emotions, challenges, and deeper struggles. Many families are impacted by cultural stress or cultural trauma. 

-Complete and be accountable for action items. Integrate and planning with the Wraparound process and follow-up with your facilitator if you a miss a meeting. 

HFW is an individualized approach to help children with mental health or behavioral challenges. Service providers, support team members, the child, and their family and/or caregiver(s) all work together to help achieve success for the child and the family at home, in school, and in the community. 

HFW is a planning process that brings people together from different parts of the whole family’s life to work together, coordinate their activities, and blend their perspectives of the family’s situation. With the help of the team, the family, and young person take the lead in deciding team vision and goals. Also, in developing creative and individualized services and supports that will help them achieve the goals and vision. Team members work together to put the plan into action, monitor how well it is working, and change it as needed. 

The four phases:

Engagement, Planning, Implementation, and Transition phases all prepare the family to manage their own needs and handle future challenges that arise.
