Wraparound Services
Unique counseling and intervention services provided to children and their families in their homes, communities and schools in Cameron, Elk, Forest, McKean, Potter, and Warren Counties. This flexible program wraps services around the client and their family in order to keep children with behavioral and emotional problems within their natural settings. Wraparound is used when more traditional forms of therapy, such as Outpatient Therapy, have proven unsuccessful or inappropriate to meet the needs of the youth and their family. All families are afforded the opportunity to participate in service planning meetings where the family, service providers, and school representatives collaborate to ensure the best possible treatment outcomes. Referrals can be made for youths up to 21 years of age by parents/guardians, teachers, physicians, therapists, or school personnel.

Psychiatric Evaluation:
Psychological or psychiatric evaluations are provided in order to determine if a referred youth meets criteria to be in the Wraparound Program. Evaluations are completed prior to services beginning and continue every four months in order to determine if wraparound services need to continue.
