Helping youth with complex needs.
Wraparound & WISe (Wraparound with Intensive Services) are a team-based planning process for youth with complex needs, and their families, designed to help produce better outcomes for youth so that they can live in their homes and communities and realize their hopes and dreams. Wraparound is proven and effective in developing and coordinating care plans that build on the strengths of the child and family. There is a commitment to create services and supports for one family at a time, with community-based options to support multi-system-involved children and youth.

Parent Partners: Parents/guardians with first-hand experience raising a child with mental health or behavioral challenges, who work to promote positive relationships between families, service providers, and community supports.
