Stanford Youth Solutions has been leading positive outcomes in Wraparound Services for 11 years. Sacramento County youth who have been placed in group care (RCL 10-14) or are at risk of such placement now have a good chance to succeed in a family setting. Our Wraparound program is the top performer in Sacramento County—producing tangible results for youth and families.
We inspire youth and families to heal their relationships for life by empowering them to use their voice and choice throughout services. This ensures they receive the most meaningful care possible. As a result, youth in the Wraparound program transition home safely, strengthen connections to family and community, are able to live more functionally, and are less dependent on public resources.
We “wrap” services around each family with individualized solutions and case management utilizing a family-centered, strength-based, needs-driven, team-driven approach. This approach is a comprehensive, outcome-driven; using research data to ensure the program continues to meet complex family needs. Youth are referred by Sacramento County Child Protective Services (CPS), the Department of Probation, and the Adoption Assistance Program (AAP).
Program Facts
Youth and their families are eligible for Wraparound when a youth is currently in a Residential Rate Classification Level (RCL) 10-14 placement.
We have a zero-refusal policy, meaning youth who meet these criteria are never turned away for services.
We always work with families and caregivers, and never work with a child in isolation.
We achieve excellent outcomes for youth and their families through our use of High Fidelity Wraparound.
Services are provided in family's homes, in community settings of families' choice, or in our conveniently located counseling center.

What Services Look Like
When youth and families are referred to our Wraparound program, they first meet with one of our facilitators for an introduction to the Wraparound philosophy and process.
Professional staff are culturally competent, meaning not only are translation services always available, but we understand and respect each family's unique culture and put it at the forefront of our work together.
Youth and families then develop a treatment plan with the support of our staff to identify goals and objectives.
Youth and families participate in Child Family Team meetings as often as needed, which are a best practice to help families overcome significant challenges.
Families choose who participates in their Child Family Team.
Child Family Team meetings are held in families' homes, or at our conveniently located counseling center.
