Wraparound
Wraparound is an intensive, community-based support process for children and youth with the highest levels of mental health needs, and their families, so that they can live in their homes and communities, and realize their dreams. It is a team based approach using a model that brings together people from different parts of a youth's life together for planning and support. With the help of a facilitator, these people work together and coordinate their activities.
Eligibility
Lincoln County Wraparound helps families who are on the Oregon Health Plan and enrolled in

to emotional, behavioral, medical, and/or substance use needs.
A child may be eligible if they:
- Are 17 years old or younger
- Live in Lincoln County and enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan, IHN or Open Card

How It Works
Wraparound is a collaborative process that brings together children, family members, friends,
service providers and community members to create an individualized plan for addressing your
child's needs. Families are asked to help develop a team that meets at least once a month to
check in how the plan is working and discuss new strategies.
Our team-based model is family driven and youth-guided. It works by building on family
strengths, collaborating with community resources and incorporating shared decision-making.
Each approach is individualized and culturally responsive.
The underlying idea is simple: human beings are happier, more productive, and more likely to
make positive changes when those in positions of authority do things with them, rather than to or
for them. The guiding Wraparound principles:
- Family-Driven and Youth-Guided (NWI: Family Voice and Choice)
- Strengths-Based
- Natural Supports
- Individualized
- Culturally and Linguistically Responsive (NWI: Culturally Competent)
- Team-Based
- Community-Based
- Collaboration
- Persistence
- Outcome-Based
