Wraparound Tulsa

Wraparound Tulsa collaborates with many community resources to “wrap” services and specialists around children and families in need.  The collaboration encompasses physical, emotional, intellectual and social needs, with an emphasis on identifying and building upon the child and family’s existing strengths.

The goal is to help the child and family become independent within the community, at school, at home and in social interactions.  Since Wraparound’s initiation in 2001, ACT has served as the host agency for this community-wide program.

Each family entering the Wraparound program works with an advocate who provides 24-hour crisis management, helps arrange additional social services and is their voice at “official” events such as hearings or court appearances.

Additionally, each family works with a care coordinator who evaluates strengths and needs and assembles a family support team that meets regularly to brainstorm solutions.

Periodic workshops are available to train parents in various skills.  Included are:

Behavioral Crisis Management – focus on techniques to de-escalate crisis and develop skills to prevent crises.

Hope for Tomorrow – introduction to mental health, eating disorders, and addictive disorders including alcohol and substance abuse.

Love and Logic Parenting – raising kids who are confident, responsible and aware of how to solve their own problems.  Parents learn how to establish healthy controls.

Visions for Tomorrow – covers 17 emotional problems such as depression, bipolar, anxiety, eating disorders.  Helps in developing coping skills and learning to live better with other related issues.
