Central Star TEAMMATES
Doing what ever it takes to keep families together
Wraparound is a nationally recognized approach to working with youth and their families that is family- centered and strengths-based. It is an evidence-based practice, and research studies show that it is effective. The goal is to support youth in out-of-home foster care placement to live with a family (parents, relatives, or guardians) and to make permanent relations with caring adults.
Wraparound services are designed to “do whatever it takes” to help youth and their families to stay together, achieve success, attend school, and participate in community activities. This approach combines mental health and child welfare methods in a comprehensive psychosocial rehabilitative approach. Click for more on the “Whatever it takes” approach.
