Wraparound Milwaukee - Children's Community Mental Health Services provides care and support to youth and families with a child or children who have serious emotional or mental health needs. We utilize a family-centered “Team” approach. In addition to care coordination services, Wraparound Milwaukee provides a broad range of youth and family support services including traditional behavioral health services, alcohol/other substance abuse counseling and non-traditional support services such as parent assistance and daily living skills.
Wraparound Milwaukee contracts with community agencies to provide care coordination services and supports for youth and families. The current care coordination agencies within the Provider Network include:
Youth and families served in all of our programs partner with a Care Coordinator to identify root causes of the challenges they face, and create a system of supports by engaging their friends and family alongside professionals from the community and provider network.
Care Coordinators meet the youth and family, conduct a strengths-based inventory, bring together the Child & Family Team, and develop the Plan of Care based on youth/family needs, goals, and formal and informal resources available or needed to support the family.
Care Coordinators utilize life domains to look at youth and family needs and create safety plans for each youth to ensure there are structured supports and supervision to ensure youth and community safety. They also are responsible to help the family identify and obtain formal services through the Provider Network to meet mental health, social and other support needs.
Wraparound Milwaukee - Children's Community Mental Health Services has a broad benefit plan of over 80 different mental health, social and supportive services. To deliver those services in the most flexible and cost effective manner, we have developed a network of community agencies and individual providers to deliver services.
There are currently over 400 agency and individual providers (i.e., psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists) involved in the provider network. These providers will be involved in Team Meetings, and have active roles in the Plan of Care.
Because these are multiple service providers in the Network for almost every service, families have a great deal of choice related to who they desire to have provide service to their child and family. Oversight of the network related to Quality Assurance is provided by Wraparound Milwaukee directly.
