Wrapround is a model that surrounds a youth and family with supports from different parts of their life. The team works together on a singular plan to help the youth and family reach their vision.
The family is the core of the Wraparound process. Their perspective is elicited and prioritized throughout the process. In the Wraparound process, the family’s perspective is every bit as important as the professionals. This allows families to become part of the problem solving team. Families have the voice to explore their options and the choice to select the actions they feel will work the best.
Teams work towards accomplishing common, measurable goals. These goals coincide with the overall vision that the team has for the family’s future. Progress is monitored through the accomplishment of these goals.
