5. Wraparound
Wraparound is a PROCESS for supporting youth and families with complex needs.
Defined by 10 Principles
Implemented in 4 Phases
Build self efficacy
The wraparound process is a key component on the continuum of a school wide system of PBIS.

6. 10 Principles of Wraparound
Family Voice and Choice
Team-Based
Natural Supports
Collaboration
Community-Based
NWI standardized the 10 principles in –Revised persistent to unconditional
Culturally-Competent
Individualized
Strengths-Based
Unconditional Care
Outcome-Based

7. Principles
Family Voice and Choice: Family and youth/child perspectives are intentionally elicited and prioritized during all phases of the wraparound process. All planning includes family members’ perspectives, and the team strives to provide options and choices to ensure the plan reflects family values and preferences. Family involvement comes with accountability and responsibility.
2. Team-Based: The wraparound team consists of individuals, agreed upon by the family or through mandates, who are committed to them through either informal or formal community support and service relationships.

8. Principles
3. Natural Supports: The team actively seeks out and encourages the full participation of team members drawn from family members’ networks of interpersonal and community relationships. The wraparound plan reflects activities and interventions that draw on sources of natural support. 4. Collaborative: Team members work cooperatively and share responsibility for developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating a single wraparound plan. The plan reflects a blending of team members’ perspectives, mandates, and available resources. The plan guides and coordinates each team member’s contribution towards meeting the team’s (and family’s) goals.

9. Principles
5. Community Based: The wraparound team implements service and support strategies that take place in the most inclusive, most responsive, most accessible, and least restrictive settings possible, and that safely promote child and family integration into home and community life. 6. Culturally Competent: The wraparound process demonstrates respect for and builds upon the values, preferences, beliefs, culture and identity of the child/youth and family and their community.

10. Principles
7. Individualized: To achieve goals laid out in the wraparound plan, the team develops and implements a customized set of strategies, supports and services unique to the youth and family’s identified needs. 8. Strengths-Based: The wraparound process and the wraparound plan identify, build upon and enhance the capabilities, knowledge, skills and assets of the child and family, their community, and their team members.

11. Principles
9. Unconditional Care: Despite challenges, the team persists in working toward the goals included in the wraparound plan until the team reaches agreement that a formal wraparound process is no longer required.
10. Outcome-Based: The team ties the goals and strategies of the wraparound plan to observable or measurable indicators of success, monitors progress in terms of these indicators or outcomes, and revises the plan accordingly.
