Wraparound is a team-based planning process for youth with complex needs and their families designed to help produce better outcomes for youth so that they can live in their homes and communities and realize their hopes and dreams.
- A team of individuals who are relevant to the well-being of a youth (family members, service providers, school staff, community members, and natural supports) will be developed;
- This team will collaboratively develop and implement an individualized plan of care, monitor the efficacy of the plan, and work towards success over time.
- This plan of care is based on strengths and needs that respect the youth's and their family's culture, values, norms, and preferences.

- Are not eligible for Medicaid
- have concerning behaviors at home, school, and in the community that meet clinical criteria for the program;
- are enrolled in and participating in at least two of the following services: mental health therapy, substance use therapy, special education, Children's Administration, Juvenile Justice, or Developmental Disabilities Administration; and
