Wraparound
Wraparound is a process with a goal to plan and implement services and supports for children and their families. Wraparound Facilitators help families develop a team comprised of the family, the supports of their choosing and involved agencies to create a plan of care. The team develops the plan based upon a global assessment of needs and strengths of the entire family. Wraparound facilitation occurs in the family’s home and community with a strong emphasis on family voice and choice.
Throughout the process, Wraparound staff will identify and help with issues relating to safety and crisis, family/parenting, health/medical, legal, emotional and psychological, social/recreational, residential/housing, spiritual/cultural, education and employment, and transportation.
Eligibility: Families involved in Children’s Protection Services and Prevention, Foster Care/Adoption and Delinquency Services with at least one child in the family involved (or has the potential to be involved) with multiple human service agencies.
The Guidance Center is one of three providers in Wayne County. The agency’s service area is the south and west areas of Wayne County and includes Southwest Detroit. Funding is provided by Department of Human Services Wayne County with no cost to the family.
