Wraparound Services
YFC High-Fidelity Wraparound Services are certified by CDSS and UC Davis.
Our High-Fidelity Wraparound program is focused on working with youth and their families (biological, adoptive, kinship, or foster families) to keep a child in their home rather than a Short Term Residential Treatment Program (STRTP).
YFC works in close partnership with County Children’s Services Department, other applicable State and County partners, and other service providers to provide this family-centered, strengths-based and high-fidelity model alternative to residential care placements for children and youth with complex and enduring needs.
What is Wraparound?
High-fidelity Wraparound is an individualized program that addresses basic needs for families including safety, financial, emotional, behavioral, educational, medical, social, respite, and vocational support in order to build a sustainable plan for you and your family.
Wraparound staff are trained in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention, Trauma Informed Care, Nurtured Heart, Motivational Interviewing and Attachment practices, and are competent in the Foster Care and Adoption practices.
Wraparound teams understand that every family is unique, and sometimes it takes a creative approach to support and sustain a family during a crisis. Each team created strives to build trust, cooperation, self-worth, and family unity to fulfill each family’s vision.
Wraparound staff understand the stress, helplessness, and burnout that parents feel and are here to help and build a healthy family life.
YFC has been providing Wraparound services since 2001.
How does it work?
Each family will be assigned a team consisting of a facilitator, parent partner, and if appropriate a clinician. The team will work with the family to create a family vision which will guide the process and determine the goals and needs of the family.
Mental health services including therapy, family therapy, rehabilitation services (IHBS services) are provided if the team determines there is a need.
Child-Family Team Meetings will occur on a regular basis (weekly, monthly, or as determined by the team) which focuses on developing services and supports to build upon the family strengths.
Each family is in charge of their own goals and successes. The intent is to build a sustainable plan to achieve the family’s vision and build natural supports to utilize after the family graduates the program.
Who is eligible?
Families identified by County Children’s Services Departments or through county Adoption programs are eligible for Wraparound services.
What is the benefit?
The Wraparound model focuses on creating strength-based, individualized, sustainable plans to keep families together and children out of STRTP placements.
How long does it take?
The goal is for the family and team to graduate the program using the family vision as the guide. There is no specific timeline as every family comes in with different needs.
