What makes Wraparound different
One of the key features of the Wraparound Intensive Services (WInS) model in Idaho is its guiding principles. A principle we take special pride in is family-driven and youth-guided care. Depending on the youth’s age, this may also be called “youth-driven and family-guided” or “family voice and choice.”

No matter the name, the meaning is the same: youth and family preferences are at the center of the planning process. Families bring expertise about their own needs and priorities, and the Wraparound team builds care plans around those perspectives.

What family-driven and youth-guided looks like

• In practice: Youth and families are empowered to share their thoughts, and the care team actively listens and responds. Wraparound does not tell families what to do—the youth and family make the final decisions.
• With transition-age youth (ages 14–21): The youth takes a leading role in decisions such as selecting team members, setting priorities, and choosing strategies. Families continue to provide input and support while giving space for youth to develop independence.

Why this matters
When families are heard and involved in planning, they are more likely to trust their team and commit to their care plan. This increases engagement and helps families feel supported and understood.
