Program Overview:
The High Fidelity Wraparound (HFW) model is an evidence-based, team-driven care management approach designed to support youth and families with complex behavioral and health needs. Serving youth ages 3 to 17, HFW provides coordinated, strengths-based support that empowers families to achieve long-term stability, resilience, and success in their homes and communities. Rooted in the principles of “Family Voice, Family Choice,” this program ensures that services are youth-guided and family-driven.
Youth and families collaborate with providers and natural supports to form a personalized team. Together, they develop and monitor a plan of care tailored to the family’s unique needs and goals. Goals can include building coping and problem-solving skills, creating safety plans, strengthening family relationships, improving school engagement, and enhancing formal and natural support networks.
