The purpose of the WrapAround Program is to prevent the necessity of removing children from their families. It is a strength-focused, needs-based process which utilizes the natural supports of the family in addition to coordinating the efforts of more traditional services. We believe that children belong with their families in every case where services can be provided to ensure their safety and the safety of others in the community. Our Agency provides facilitation for the WrapAround process. Our facilitators assess the strengths and needs of the child and family, help them develop an effective team of family and community members, and assist them in creating a plan to meet their needs which draws on the strengths of team members. Team members meet as needed (usually once or twice each month) and facilitators meet with family, school personnel, etc. as needed, acting as the organizing element between informal and formal supports. Their responsibilities include updating and distributing written plans; creating, updating and submitting budget requests; providing notice of meetings; and facilitating meetings to ensure the maintenance of a strength focused, needs-based process. |
