Wraparound Services of Northeast Louisiana

The services offered by Wraparound Services of Northeast Louisiana are intensive, individualized care planning and management process for children and adolescents with complex mental health and/or other needs. These services will be offered to young people who have involvement in multiple child-serving agencies (i.e. Office of Juvenile Justice, Department of Child and Family Services, Office of Behavioral Health, Department of Education) and whose families would thus benefit from coordination of effort across these systems. Wraparound is also often aimed at young people in a community who, regardless of the system(s) in which they are involved, are at risk of place­ment in out-of-home or out-of-community settings, or who are transitioning back to the community from such place­ments.

The wraparound process is intended to ensure that youth with the most complex needs in a sys­tem or community benefit from a coordinated care planning process that is responsive to their needs and the needs of their families. The wraparound process produces a single, comprehensive plan of care that integrates the efforts of multiple agen­cies and providers on behalf of a youth and his or her family. The wraparound plan is designed to ensure that the young person and family receive the support needed to live successfully in the com­munity, and at home or in the most home-like set­ting possible.
