Wraparound uses professional staff and natural supports to literally "wrap" services around identified children and their families. Services are provided in the family's home and community to prevent out-of-home placement.

Services also may be implemented upon a child's return home from a placement to strengthen relationships and problem-solving skills, as well as to prevent recidivism. Wraparound is a child-centered, strengths-based system, focusing on the child's and family's strengths as major tools.

Because each child's and family's situation is unique, an individually-tailored treatment plan is formulated to address the child's mental health needs. This plan is designed to use community resources creatively in order to maximize improvement to the child's function with minimal disruption to the family unit. The plan is developed, monitored and modified by the members of an interagency team: the referring agency, Glade Run Lutheran Services, teachers or vocational training counselors, therapists, psychologists, medical and legal advisors, and, most importantly, the child and family.

Specific service components for which a client may be referred include:

• Behavioral Specialist Consultant
• Therapeutic Staff Support
• Therapeutic Staff Support Aide
• Mobile Therapist

Dialectics are about holding in balance things like negative or racing thoughts, conflicts in relationships, overwhelming emotions, impulsive behaviors, and dealing with changes.These things can sometimes seem to be contradictory, mismatched, in direct competition with each other or in conflict with each other.

The goal of Dialectical Behavior Therapy is to accept the way things are right now while making progress toward developing new skills to succeed over a lifetime, and to ultimately improve one's quality of life. This group teaches skills in four areas:

• Mindfulness helps us focus on the present moment without dwelling on past pains or future worries. It provides tools to overcome negative judgments.
• Distress Tolerance gives us tools to handle painful events and tolerate frustrations.
• Emotion Regulation skills help us recognize and manage our emotions without impulsively acting in destructive ways.
• Interpersonal Effectiveness gives us new tools to assert ourselves, set limits and negotiate solutions while being respectful of ourselves and others.
