Wraparound Principles of Care

There are many services and supports that can be woven together to meet your child’s and family’s needs.  In mental health care, the term “wraparound” refers to an approach to meeting the needs of families with children who have complex needs.  A set of principals define this  approach to care that “wraps around” the child and is proven to be effective in helping families meet their social, emotional, medical and educational needs.  You may hear the term “evidence-based practice,” which means there is scientific evidence that shows it works.

The 10 principles of wraparound care include the following:

  1. Family Voice and Choice
  2. Team Based
  3. Natural Supports
  4. Collaboration
  5. Community Based
  6. Culturally Competent
  7. Individualized
  8. Strengths Based
  9. Persistence
  10. Outcomes Based

You as a parent can take this approach to advocate for and fulfill your child’s and your family’s needs – medical, emotional, educational, and social.  Learn more: Ten Principles of the Wraparound Process
