High Fidelity Wraparound Services (HFW) is a community-based, team-oriented process designed for children and youth ages 3-20 with complex behavioral health challenges. These youth may have involvement with multiple systems, such as mental health services, child welfare, or juvenile justice. The service involves developing individualized care plans through collaboration among youth, families, service providers, system partners, and natural supports.

HFW is led by a trained facilitator who guides a team through all stages of the process, from assessment and goal setting to plan implementation. The team works closely to coordinate services and ensure the youth and family receive the necessary supports. Care plans typically last up to 18 months and aim to strengthen the family’s ability to manage services and support their child’s needs effectively.

HFW is important because it provides a holistic approach to supporting youth with complex needs. By working together across different services, it helps avoid gaps in care and makes sure families have the information and support they need to make choices and get the right help. This collaborative model helps families manage challenges and ensures that no one falls through the cracks.

The goals of HFW are to improve the youth's and family’s ability to manage and navigate services, while building and strengthening their natural support system. The program aims to provide a seamless, integrated care experience, reduce the reliance on institutional care, and help families better meet the emotional and behavioral needs of their child. Ultimately, the goal is to improve the youth's functioning and overall well-being within their community.
