Heart & Hands

\ We Will Partner with You! 

​​

 

 

Upon receiving your referral information, your chosen Wraparound Facilitator will reach out to you via telephone within two business days to set-up a visit with you. Following that, we will meet with you, given your comfort level, either in person or virtually at a location of your choosing.

​

 

Wraparound Facilitation is not effective without gathering your Family Story. It is integral to the process. We will work, first hand, with you and a variety of other sources to elicit your Underlying Strengths, your Underlying Needs via a Team Process where your values, culture, traditions, and beliefs are valued and fully integrated into the process. Your Wraparound Facilitator will help you identify important Natural Supports, community members, or other valued individuals to make up your team.  

​

​

With your Wraparound Facilitator, you will work together to develop a Crisis Safety Plan that will outline triggers, potential crisis, action steps, and those responsible in the event there is an immediate need to provide protection around the behavior.  This will help you get through the time period prior to the first team meeting. 

​

​

 

Your Wraparound Facilitator will work with you to develop a Family Vision to help establish outcomes, what you hope to strive for in the future, and it guides the Wraparound process. From there, conversations, brainstorming sessions, and other pertinent group conversations will be held to develop a Plan of Care. Remember - Plans fail, families do not!
