The Wraparound model is a home-based permanency support service that serves children and their caregivers by providing a family-centered, strength-based planning approach to help children remain in their home environment. Wraparound services facilitate the family’s movement from dependence on county-based systems of care to natural supports. Service goals are centered on building on each family’s unique, individualized needs in order to allow their children to gain safety, stability, and permanency in their home and community.
