| Description | West Hamilton Wraparound provides help to families with complex needs. Family and friends develop a support team to develop strategies to meet identified needs. West Hamilton WrapAround has a Community Mobilization Team that organizes the community to provide the Wraparound process to people/families with complex problems so that they can find solutions leading to a better life.The Community Mobilization Team meets monthly at Melrose, organizes fundraising for our flex funds for families and does presentations in the community to interested organizations For people/families who have been involved with the Wraparound process, they talk about Wraparound as providing them with real hope that life could be different and better on a daily basis. Fundamental to the Wraparound process are a number of paradigm shifts which are identified as follows: * In Wraparound, the person/family directs the planning versus the professionals directing the planning * Wraparound plans meet the needs of the person/family versus the needs of the professionals * Wraparound plans are built on the strengths and resources of the person/family and their team versus being based upon a disease or pathology model * Wraparound plans are flexible and unique to each person/family versus being set and categorical * Wraparound teams always include the person/family, their community support people and the professionals that they find helpful versus the team being made up of just the professionals involved * Wraparound teams meet as often as needed by the person/family and usually at least once a month versus traditional case conferencing that usually has the team meet only every three months | |||
