Resource Guide to Wraparound



Wraparound Evaluation & Research Team

Wraparound Fidelity Index

The wraparound process is a widely-implemented approach to community-based treatment for children with emotional and behavioral disorders and their families. However, despite a history of practice innovations nationwide, the absence of standards and fully described practice procedures has frustrated providers and hindered development of a wraparound research base. The National Wraparound Initiative is an attempt to engage experts nationally in a process of defining standards and compiling specific strategies for conducting high-quality wraparound.
