Helping youth and families move towards healthier futures
Many young people and families face challenges and barriers to consistent support. Without early guidance, these challenges can grow into long-term obstacles that affect education, mental health, and future opportunities.
How We Support Youth & Families
Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe)
Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) is an intensive, team-based mental health program designed to support children, youth, and young adults with complex behavioral health needs. WISe brings together a custom care team—including family, community supports, and healthcare professionals—to help youth remain safely in their homes, schools, and communities.
WISe is a voluntary, family-driven program that meets you where you are, delivering flexible care in your home, school, or community settings on a schedule that fits your life.
How WISe Works
WISe uses a collaborative model where your family leads the way. Together, we create a individualized care plan built around your family’s unique strengths, culture, and long-term vision.
Your WISe team may include:
Care Coordinator: Facilitates meetings, helps navigate systems (schools, foster care, juvenile justice), and manages your care plan.
Mental Health Clinician: Provides individual and family therapy, skill-building, and emotional regulation strategies.
Parent Partner / Family Peer Specialist: A peer advocate with lived experience raising a child with complex behavioral health needs who offers guidance, empathy, and advocacy.
Youth Peer Support: A trained young adult who has navigated their own mental health journey and acts as a mentor and guide for the youth.
Natural Supports: Extended family members, friends, mentors, or faith leaders chosen by your family to be part of your support circle.
Key Features & Benefits
In-Home & Community-Based Care: Services take place where the youth feels most comfortable—at home, at school, or in public community spaces.
24/7 Crisis Support: Access to mobile crisis support from team members who know your family's history and safety plan.
Multi-System Coordination: Seamless collaboration with schools, child welfare, juvenile justice, and primary care providers.
Strengths-Based Approach: Focuses on your family's existing strengths to build lasting skills, resilience, and independence.
