3 Rivers Wraparound Program partners with families and communities to coordinate care and supportive services for at-risk youth in Benton and Franklin Counties. The vision of this unique program is to demonstrate that youth who have challenging emotional and behavioral health needs can be best served in their own home within their own communities, using a team approach that is strengths-based, family centered, and cost-effective. The program will coordinate the efforts of system service providers with natural supports identified by the family and the youth. |

The 3 Rivers Wraparound Program will focus on measurable outcomes such as increasing satisfying family and peer relationships, meaningful community involvement and success in school, all while promoting good behavioral and social health.
Our strategies include:
- Creating an individualized action plan that ensures a precision fit between what families need and what they get.
- The use of non-traditional interventions that maximize the strengths and innate resources of each child and family.
- The creation of a child and family team that meets regularly, comprised of any involved system service providers as well as supports from the family's natural environment.
- A comprehensive view of each child and family that acknowledges strengths and needs across all domains of life.
- A discovery of each family's culture and vision that influences planning and intervention.
Top
- Families have the right to participate in all decisions that affect their lives.
- Behavior is a manifestation of an underlying need.
- Families know their own strengths and needs.
- Friends and family members provide the most meaningful support when times get hard
- Families are responsible for their children.
- Each child and family is unique and supports should be tailored to reflect preferences.
- We all make mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance.
- Families are strong and richly connected to their community.

The program will target youth who are at especially high risk of being removed from their homes and community because of their exceptional needs. Care Coordinators will partner with families and systems to develop creative, individualized plans using non-traditional resources to allow these youth to remain safely in their home and community.
