Wraparound Therapist

Make a lasting impact-join our team as a Wraparound Therapist and empower youth and families to build brighter futures!

The Wraparound Therapist coordinates services and planning for children who are referred through social service, probation or mental health departments and are in the process of stepping down from institutional into family or family-like settings. Services will be provided almost exclusively in the community in families' homes, group homes, foster homes, schools, etc. The primary role is to ensure that all parties are working together toward stability for the child and family. Wraparound Clinicians engage with system involved youth from child welfare & probation in meaningful and authentic relationships while providing a safe, predictable, and positive environment that aligns with our clients' values and cultures.

ABOUT WRAPAROUND

Wraparound is a family planning process that provides therapeutic support to youth and families in the community with the intention of enhancing natural resources and keeping youth in the least restrictive and most family-like setting, with the intention of reducing the need for institutional care. Services range up to 12 months and include regular Child and Family Team Meetings that support youth and families with identifying strengths, creating realistic goals, and developing a comprehensive step-by-step plan based on those goals. Youth and families are referred directly by Contra Costa County (CCC) Children and Family Services, the CCC Juvenile Probation Department, CCC Children's Behavioral Health, or Kaiser.
