A Promising Practice

Through ongoing program evaluation efforts, most Wraparound initiatives in Canada have had significant success in using the Wraparound process to help families with children and youth dealing with complex needs work towards having a better life on a day-to-day basis.

This has been measured at the individual level and the family level by tracking change with respect to the goals of both the youth and their family members. Various Wraparound initiatives have also used one or two common measures of change and have tracked success across all of the children, youth, adults and their families with high levels of effectiveness.
