What is Wraparound?
Wraparound is a process which develops and carries out plans for children, individuals and their families who have very complex needs. Families who have used traditional services may find Wraparound helpful in meeting the family's identified needs.
The Wraparound process is implemented with the involvement of those people important to the family.
Wraparound improves the lives of families by building on their strengths. It encourages them to make helpful, caring connections in the community. The Wraparound process ensures that services are focused on the needs of the individual and his or her family.

This Council includes parents, service providers, business leaders, and community representatives.
