High Fidelity Wraparound
-
Wraparound is a facilitated team based practice model designed to integrate natural and professional supports, with the family in the driver’s seat A wraparound team is formed to help define and refine family strengths, culture, vision and needs; prioritize needs and create the plan; and then carry out the plan one prioritized need at a time until the formal team is no longer needed because the vision of the family has been achieved. Is generally used for youth and families with more complex needs (involved in more than one system or in need of a higher level of care).

10 Principles
- 1. Family Voice and Choice: Planning is grounded in
family members’ perspectives, and the team
strives to provide options and choices such that
the plan reflects family values and preferences.
2. Team Based: Team consists of individuals agreed
upon by the family and committed to them through
support and service relationships.
3. Natural Supports: Team includes members drawn
from family members’ networks of interpersonal
and community relationships.
4. Collaboration: Team members work cooperatively
and share responsibility for developing,
implementing, monitoring, and evaluating a
single wraparound plan.
5. Community-Based: Team implements service and
support strategies that take place in the most
inclusive, most accessible, and least restrictive
settings possible; and that safely promote child and
family integration into home and community life.
6. Culturally Competent: Wraparound process
demonstrates respect for and builds on the values,
preferences, beliefs, culture, and identity of the
child/youth and family and their community.
7. Individualized: Team develops and implements a
customized set of strategies, supports, and
services to achieve goals laid out in the
wraparound plan.
8. Strengths Based: Process and plan identify, build
on, and enhance the capabilities, knowledge,
skills, and assets of the child and family, their
community, and other team members.
9. Persistence: 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 needed.
10. Outcome Based: Team ties goals and strategies
of the plan to observable or measurable
indicators of success, monitors progress in terms
of these indicators, and revises them accordingly.
