Wraparound services are a type of community-based mental health care that provides individualized support to youth and their families. Wraparound services are designed to help youth with serious mental health challenges remain in their homes and communities and achieve their full potential.
Wraparound services are based on the principle that youth and families are the experts in their own lives. Wraparound teams work with youth and families to develop a personalized care plan that meets their unique needs and goals. Wraparound teams may include a variety of professionals, such as social workers, therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, and educators.
Wraparound services can include a wide range of supports, such as:
Individual and family therapy
Medication management
Case management
Crisis intervention
School support
Social skills training
Life skills training
Vocational support
Respite care
Wraparound services are typically provided in the home and community but may also be provided in other settings, such as schools or clinics. Wraparound services are typically voluntary, but some youth may be required to participate as part of a treatment plan ordered by a court or other legal authority.
