WrapAround Facilitator

(Elgin County)

The WrapAround process exists to improve the lives of children and families with multiple complex needs. The philosophy of WrapAround encourages family choice, family ownership and family empowerment.

WrapAround is a team-based planning process intended to provide individualized, coordinated, family-driven care that will meet the complex needs of children and their families. Children that benefit from participating in the WrapAround process are often involved with several child and family serving systems (e.g. mental health, child welfare, juvenile justice, and special education). This can include children who are at risk of placement in residential based programs, and who experience emotional, behavioural, or mental health difficulties.

The WrapAround process requires that families, service providers, and key members of the family's social support network collaborate to build a creative plan that responds to the particular needs of the child and family. The WrapAround Facilitator is a key member of the team that develops the plan. Team members then implement the plan and continue to meet regularly to monitor progress and make adjustments to the plan as necessary.
