Case Management and Wraparound Services
Case Management and Wraparound builds on the strengths and resources of the family.
Through our case management services, based on your child and family’s needs, we can connect you to community resources and recreational activities. We will also support you in collaborating with your child’s school and guide you through navigating the mental health system, among other services. Our Wraparound facilitator helps the family develop a team of supports — which could include friends, family, members of a faith community — as well as professionals involved in a helping role. This team develops an action plan, coordinates activities, problem-solves, and shares resources to meet the family’s needs.
