Wraparound
The YSB Wraparound program uses a team-based approach to support youth with mental health needs by helping them and their families bring together both professional services (counsellors, doctors, school staff, and community programs) and people from their own lives (family members, friends, mentors, or cultural supports) into one support team.
The Wraparound facilitator will explore strengths, needs, and cultural considerations as it applies to various domains in the young persons life and collaborate on the development of goals. The YSB Wraparound facilitator helps to coordinate the creation of a shared plan with the identified team and ensures that everyone is working together to address the paarticipant’s identified needs. The responsibilities on the plan are shared among the team members, including the participant.
Wraparound is driven by the participant and is a teaching model whereby they gain the tools and skills necessary for long-term success to navigate challenges in the future, after the professionals are gone.
Who can refer you to the Wraparound program?
The service provider working with the young person can refer to the Wraparound program by filling out the application form. Youth and families can also access a Choice appt if they think that Wraparound might be a good fit – the therapist can help them assess if this is the best next step and support them through the process of application.
