Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) for Medicaid-eligible youth:
WISe is a voluntary service that uses a team approach to meet a child/youth's needs. It provides intensive mental health services to support youth and their family to meet their goals. The focus of WISe is:
To provide intensive mental health services designed to assist children, youth, and their families in achieving wellness, safety, and to strengthen relationships within their community.
To develop an individualized care plan, based on strengths and needs that respect their family culture, norms, and preferences.
Within the team approach, team members include natural supports (such as family, friends, and religious leaders) and the professionals who work with the family (such as counselors, schools, CPS, and probation officers).
To offer services and supports in locations and at times that work best for children, youth, and families (including in the house or a public location of choice, and on evenings or weekends).
To identify or provide resources and supports for children, youth, and their families.
To provide help during a time of crisis.
