Wraparound Fairfax, Children and Adolescents

The Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board offers Wraparound Fairfax which provides an intensive level of support for youth who are at high risk for residential or out of home placement, or who are currently served away from home and transitioning back to their home community. Services are provided for up to fifteen months and are designed to enable youth to remain safely in the community with their families. Wraparound Fairfax staff works closely with families and service provider teams to identify the youth’s underlying needs and strengths. The facilitator shares the information in the team setting, facilitates the team planning process and monitors the outcomes through a monthly review process. Families receive supports that are matched uniquely to their situation, and that are designed to support the youth’s continued progress after other services have ended and to keep the youth safely in the community and prevent out of home placement. County case managers make the referrals, and approval for services is determined by Comprehensive Services Act (CSA) utilization review staff.
