WrapAround Service Coordination. WrapAround is for families who
receive services through more than one agency. The child and family
work with a “Facilitator” to create a team made up
of the family, natural supports (such as other family members,
neighbors, friends, etc.), informal supports (church, coaches,
etc.), and formal supports (agencies, professionals, etc.). The
family and team develop one plan that all the agencies utilize
to assist the family. The plan is based on strengths of the child
and family. Each team member including the child and family has
responsibilities in the plan.
-
Transition planning — Use of WrapAround process to work
together to help make the transition between home to residential
placement and back to the home / community smooth and supportive.
This transition includes determining the goals of placement, reviewing
progress made, if placement is meeting the goals or if changes
are needed, and what supports are needed to bring the child home
and assure a stable environment.
