Strength Based

Wrap Around seeks to build on each family’s strengths as they work toward self-sufficiency and away from agency support.  Wrap Around helps each family to build their natural supports, so they have a strong, comprehensive support network that can assist them as they work to meet each child’s individual needs.  

 Team Approach

Each family will identify individuals to be a part of the team that will support  them as they learn to maintain their child’s placement, manage their own crises and gain necessary  resources on their own. Although Wrap Around utilizes a team approach, the success of the program ultimately depends on each family’s willingness to fully participate in the program. 

Case Management

Wrap Around provides case management to each family involved in the program.  The case manager helps families to identify their areas of need with an initial assessment. Once the areas of need are identified, the case manager and parents work together to access needed services and build on their pre-existing strengths to achieve the desired growth.  

The Wrap Around program is designed to help families maintain placement for children who would otherwise be removed from their care.

Wrap Around

Focuses on keeping children in their current placement, whether it be with their biological parent(s), with a legal guardian or in a foster home. Wrap Around also seeks to return children from group homes and mental institutions back to their community in a less restrictive placement. 

Wrap Around is provided in collaboration with Tehama County Department of Social Services, Probation, Mental Health and other community agencies to provide the most comprehensive services to families participating in the program.
