Wraparound is a program that works with children and families to best meet their needs through developing independent and specifically tailored services on behalf of each family member.  Wraparound promotes community-based options for families with complex needs by linking families needs to local community services, helping family members to become self-sufficient and fully integrated within their communities.  The key concept is for the local community to “wrap” its collective services “around” a family in need.
