Family Involvement Overview
“Not all families fit the criteria for the Wraparound Process. Parents and their children must be actively participanting at the beginning stages sharing their input in how the system can help their child.”
This process is a systematic process and is not for everyone. When families are involved in the wraparound process, they are willing to become active partners in the treatment of their child or youth.
Parents are Partners in this process:
- Parents, as well as any one providing services to their child and family work as a Team identifying the strengths and needs of the child and family and taking part in the decisions regarding the care their child receives.
- Parents play a key role in the treatment of their children and youth. They take an active role in participating in all areas of care.
- Parents assist in developing the plan of care that is appropriate for their child and their family.
Our goal is to keep families together and we recognize that mental health is equally as important as physical health to our families. Many of the services provided to families are intended to help the family reach a level of independence where they are not solely depdendent of formal services.
