wraparound services
Comprehensive, coordinated support services that address multiple life domains affecting an individual's mental health recovery.
Full Definition
Wraparound services represent a holistic approach to behavioral health treatment that coordinates multiple support systems around an individual or family. These services typically include mental health treatment, case management, housing assistance, vocational support, educational services, and family support, all integrated into a single care plan. The wraparound model emphasizes individualized, culturally appropriate, and strength-based interventions delivered by a collaborative team. In behavioral health documentation, wraparound services require careful coordination notes, outcome tracking across multiple domains, and clear delineation of each service provider's role in the comprehensive treatment plan.
Usage
Usage note: Typically written as two words; emphasizes coordination rather than just multiple services.
