SWAT – Student Wraparound Achievement Team
Representatives Mr. Brett Patrick, Chief Operations Officer, and Mr. Lynn Tolbert, Victim Service Program Coordinator, shared that Wraparound is a unique approach to delivering services for children and youth facing significant mental health or behavioral challenges. It prioritizes a holistic, family-driven method, placing the child and their family at the core of decision-making. With guidance from professionals and natural supporters, families shape the direction of Wraparound by expressing their needs and preferences. Together with a Wraparound facilitator, families assemble a team consisting of friends, community members, and service providers. This team collaborates with the family to establish goals and a vision, crafting personalized services and support to achieve them. Throughout the process, the team works closely with the family, adjusting plans as necessary to ensure effectiveness.
