The National Wraparound Implementation Center

We are dedicated to transforming needed services for children, youth, and young adults with complex needs, and their families, through the effective implementation of Wraparound—a comprehensive care coordination approach. We work closely with states, communities, and organizations to ensure that Wraparound is not just a service, but a sustainable, high-impact strategy that transforms systems and drives positive outcomes.

Our approach is firmly rooted in implementation science, allowing us to offer tailored support across policy, financing, evaluation, and workforce development.

Strategic Implementation

We provide tailored support to states and organizations at every stage of Wraparound implementation from initial planning and development to scaling and sustainability. We guide our partners through the complexities of system transformation, ensuring that Wraparound principles are effectively integrated into all elements of their service delivery continuum.

Workforce Development

We equip professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to provide effective, model-adherent Wraparound. Our goal is to create a workforce that is capable, confident, and ready to meet the complex needs of children, young adults, and their families. Our resources are designed to support continuous learning and improvement, ensuring that Wraparound providers remain at the cutting edge of best practices.

Accountability & Quality Assurance

We emphasize the importance of data-driven accountability in the Wraparound process. Through our web-based implementation fidelity tracking systems and rigorous oversight mechanisms, we help states and organizations monitor their progress, maintain high standards of service delivery, and achieve better outcomes for families.

Our Impact

The states, communities, and organizations that we work with are empowered to effectively implement Wraparound as a key component of comprehensive health reforms. Our comprehensive approach has been proven to increase the effectiveness of Wraparound, leading to improved outcomes for children, youth, young adults, and their families. By focusing on sustainable implementation and continuous improvement, we help our partners achieve long-lasting success in their communities. We partner with states and communities at any stage of their Wraparound implementation journey, from initial planning to well-established initiatives using research-driven strategies. Our approach is integrated, customized, and intensive, ensuring that each state or site receives the specific support it needs for success.
