WHAT IS WRAP AROUND?

Wrap Around is a safety-first process which varies in intensity and duration, based on the individualized needs of the client. The wrap around process is how we implement the system of care at the client level. It is based on common personal, community and system values. It is a process that provides integration of services and support around the client.

The key characteristics of the process are that the plan addresses client needs not client deficits, is developed by a client centered team, is individualized based on the strengths and culture of the client, and is needs-driven rather than services-driven.
Wrap Around Staff listens to the client to understand his own vision of the future and then provides options for achieving it.

The process focuses on strengthening the natural supports for the client, including family, friends and social supports so that the professionals can ease out of the process.

The Wrap team work together to make one plan that addresses all of the client’s needs and goals. This plan integrates the requirements of all systems the client must adhere to. Having one plan makes success possible for the client.
