Definition of «wraparound»

The term "wraparound" can refer to several different things, depending on context.

However, more commonly, "wraparound" is used to refer specifically to a type of mental health care service delivery model whereby treatment and support are provided to individuals and families in their homes and communities rather than in an office or clinic setting. This approach involves bringing together a multidisciplinary team of professionals who work collaboratively with the individual, family, and other supports to provide comprehensive, coordinated care that addresses not only mental health needs but also physical health, education, employment, and social needs.

In summary, "wraparound" can refer to a blanket-like enveloping action or a specific type of mental health service delivery model, depending on context.
