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.
