Systems of Care Wraparound Supports

Vision

Our vision is for children, youth, and families on the Yakama Nation Reservation and surrounding areas to be able to easily access a collaborative network of systems and supports that will meet their needs. We aim to accomplish this by implementing a Systems of Care approach that will meet the needs in each of the communities we serve. We work towards creating system level changes to improve health outcomes for our children, youth, and families.

What is Wraparound?

Wraparound is a way to help families by making plans that focus on their strengths and needs. Each family creates personalized plans that cover everything they need help with and what they’re good at. They then choose a team of people to help them make the plan work; these people can include family members, friends, teachers, or others they trust. They can also get support from the community by using available resources. This teamwork and community help are vital for their plans to succeed and for improving life for the family.

During the Team Process, individuals and families can expect the following:

  • Discovery of strengths and needs
  • Identification of supports
  • Individualized plan for the youth and family, prioritized by the youth and family
  • Supported transition from formal wraparound process to reliance on natural supports

The Systems of Care Program offers the following services:

  • Youth and family supports
