These families often face homelessness , have needs related to social determinants of health , and many of their children and youth are involved in the juvenile justice system or placed in foster or kinship care .

The organization provided evidence of how this program impacts the intended audience . Vision : Weld County Department of Human Services ( WCDHS ) envisions a community where individuals and families achieve safety , stabitity , and well - being through compassionate , equitable , and culturally responsive services . Mission : To support and strengthen families by providing access to essential services , promoting self - sufficiency , and ensuring safety and welt - being . This aligns with Weld County Government ' s broader commitment to enhancing quatity of life through innovation , collaboration , and fiscal responsibility . In 2022 , WCDHS launched the High - Fidelity Wraparound ( HFW ) Program to address unmet needs for intensive care coordination among children , youth , and families involved in multiple systems . Many of these families identify as Black , Indigenous , People of Color , immigrants , refugees , migrants , LGBTQ + , and gender non - conforming . Others face homelessness , poverty , and social determinants of health that increase risk for chid abuse and neglect . HFW was selected for its evidence - based , family - driven approach to preventing out - of - home placements and improving long - term outcomes . In its first year , the program focused on staff certification and building referral pathways with child welfare , prevention , post - adoption , schools , and mental health providers . Now in its fourth year , WCDHS Wraparound serves + amities with complex needs by coordinating care across systems and centering the family ' s voice and choice . Facilitators lead monthly Child and Family Team meetings , develop plans of care , crisis , and transition plans , and ensure families are connected to culturally responsive supports . The program aligns with CANP goals by addressing root causes of maltreatment , including caregiver stress , behavioral heatth needs , and systemic inequities . Wraparound has helped families secure IEPs , reduce school exclusions , inprove healthy social connections and stabilize placements .

Weld County , like many Colorado counties , faces a significant gap in intensive care coordination services for children and youth with complex behavioral health needs . Many of these youth cycle in and out of inpatient and residential treatment . The 2021 Weld County Healthy Kids Colorado Community Report indicates : • Nearly 4 in 10 high school students reported feeling so sad or hopeless for at least two consecutive weeks in the past year that they stopped participating in their usual activities • 15 % of high school students seriously considered suicide and 8 % had made at least one attempt in the past year • 18 % reported engaging in self harm , • Roughly half of students identifying as gender queer or non - binary had seriously considered suicide in the past year and nearly one in five had made an attempt . Without robust , community - based support , children and youth with significant behavioral and mental health needs are at risk of entering or re - entering higher levels of care or out - of - home placement . The need for a coordinated , trauma - informed , and family - driven approach is urgent . HFW is the evidence - based model identified by Health Care Policy and Financing ( HCPF ) and the Behavioral Health Administration ( BHA ) as the gold standard for intensive care coordination . It is currently used by the Colorado System of Care ( CO - SOC ) and for Medicaid members on the Children ' s Habilitation Residential Program ( CHRP ) waiver , However , access to HFW in Weld County is severely limited .

WCDHS Wraparound consistently gathers meaningful feedback from youth , families , caregivers , and community stakeho ders to enhance the quality and fidelity of its High - Fidelity Wraparound ( HFW ) programming . The Wraparound Supervisor conducts monthly customer service outreach to two randomly selected program participants , which may include youth , caregivers , natural supports , or professionals involved in the famt ly ' s team . These structured interviews assess facilitator responsiveness , follow - through , communication , engagement , and problem - solving . This feedback directly informs both individual and group supervision , ensuring facilitators receive targeted coaching and support . Feedback also informs broader programmatic decisions . For example , insights into the referral process have led to adjustments that improve access and clarity for families and referral partners . Historically , fidelity surveys administered through Colorado ' s Trauma Informed System of Care ( COACT ) provided anonymous data on facilitator adherence to HFW principles , satisfaction with the process , and overall implementation quality . Although COACT no longer fulfills this role , WCDHS Wraparound is preparing to utilize fidelity and satisfaction data through the new Workforce Capacity Center , developed in consultatiop • 4 .

WCDHS Wraparound is intentionally designed to empower children , youth , caregivers , and community members by embedding voice , choice , and leadership throughout every phase of service delivery . Empowerment is not a byproduct , it is a foundational principle that drives planning , decision - making , and outcomes . Family and Youth Vc ice and Choice are central to the Wraparound model . Participants lead the development of their own care plans , identifying their strengths , needs , and goals . Teams are built around the family ' s preferences , often including trusted individuals such as extended family , friends , or school staff . Plans are co - created , not prescribed , ensuring participants have ownership and agency . For example , a youth struggling with school attendance helped design a plan that included a family friend as a mentor and flexible school hours ; demonstrating how their voice directly shaped a successful , personalized solution . Wraparound Facilitators support participants in navigating complex systems , speaking up in meetings , and building confidence in their own decision - making .

These internal partnerships are strengthened through ongoing outreach and training with referring workers , supervisors , and leadership . This ensures shared understanding of the HFW model and supports timely , appropriate referrals . Externally , WCDHS Wraparound maintains long - standing ( 20 + years ) strategic collaborations with key system partners , including : • Weld County ' s Regional Accountable Entity ( RAE ) , Northeast Health Partners , and care coordinators • Local school districts , including Greeley - Evans School District 6 • North Range Behavioral Health , the community mental health center • Juvenile justice stakeholders , including courts , GALS , probation , and public defenders (Mtn AAananomant Artnnr - inc ar ♦ minictarirtri AAnAirairl Isuniunrc 6 .

These strategies are grounded in strong internal and external partnerships , cultural responsiveness , and a commitment to equity and access for all families . Internal recruitment is sustained through consistent referrals from WCDHS child welfare , prevention , and post - adoption units . These referrals are supported by ongoing outreach and training with caseworkers , supervisors , and leadership to ensure a shared understanding of the HFW model . This approach promotes timely , appropriate referrals and increases the likelihood of long - term engagement and program completion . To further improve recruitment quality , the Wraparound supervisor has created desk aids for workers and is updating the screening form to better identify families who area strong fit for the model , particularly those transitioning from child welfare to voluntary services . Externally , WCDHS Wraparound has cultivated strategic partnerships with key system stakeholders who serve a broad range of families , including those with high needs across multiple systems . These partners request WCDHS Wraparound through the caseworkers or case managers paired with the family , who then make the referral .

Our approach is grounded in the belief that meaningful support must be shaped by those receiving it . We don ' t just deliver services , we co - create solutions with families , youth , and community partners . Responsiveness begins with access . Recognizing that many families in Weld County fall outside traditional eligibility criteria for intensive care coordination , WCDHS Wraparound intentionally serves youth and caregivers regardless of Medicaid or waiver status . This ensures that under served populations , such as youth in transition , emancipating youth , kinship caregivers , post - adoptive families , and those navigating multiple systems , receive equitable , timely support .
