The Wraparound process is a way to improve the lives of children with complex needs and their families. It is a team-based planning process used to develop plans of care that are individualized based on the strengths and culture of the children and their family. The plan is needs-driven rather than service-driven, although a plan may incorporate existing categorical services, if appropriate to meet the needs of the consumer.

- The Role of Care Management Entities in OhioRISE | By Patrick Kanary
Ohio has long worked to meet the serious and complex behavioral health needs of children, youth, and their families. Previous (and ongoing) efforts to move this work forward have included state and local system of care grants, Family and Children First initiatives[3], local intersystem collaborations, advocacy to fund multisystem youth[4], the state’s current multi-system youth custody relinquishment prevention program, and many other efforts. However, despite these achievements, there remain gaps to fill, access to achieve, and services to provide. Read Full Brief and Download PDF.

Recommendations of the Ohio Children’s Behavioral Health Prevention Network Stakeholder Group | Final Report February 2022
Every child deserves to feel safe — to enjoy being a kid, to not worry about where they’re going to sleep that night or where their next meal is coming from. Tragically, too many kids in Ohio experience great hardships that impact every aspect of their young lives.
Download PDF of Recommendations
Ohio ranks 13th highest in the nation for the percent of children who have been exposed to two or more adverse childhood experiences, known as ACES. These experiences often can have a negative effect on a child’s health and well-being throughout their lives.
From the Ohio Governor’s Children’s Initiative | Healthy Families Handbook
In 2020, a total of 1,652 suspected cases of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) were reported to the Ohio Department of Health. That’s 1,652 babies who were born with drugs — most often opioids — in their system causing them to go through withdrawal in their first days of life. An unborn baby’s exposure to drugs may lead to long-term health and development problems, including hearing and vision problems, as well as
difficulties with learning and behavior.

RESOURCE | Crisis Services White Paper Report from OhioMHAS
Across Ohio, people of all ages and their families are seeking care in record numbers for substance use disorder and mental health concerns. Frequently, these Ohioans are exhibiting severe symptoms, such as psychosis, suicidal ideation, agitation, aggression, and/ or are exhibiting symptoms of substance withdrawal or the toxic effects of substance misuse or abuse. In many communities, people rely on emergency departments that may lack the behavioral health resources to adequately assess, stabilize, and connect people to community services and supports. The person in crisis may be arrested and jailed without access to the appropriate care. Jail is not the right place for people living with mental illness and their presence there creates difficulties for jail staff. Download PDF of Report Here
Systems of Care (SOC) Provides Context of Background and Future Prospects
The system of care (SOC) approach was first introduced in the mid-1980s to address welldocumented problems in mental health systems for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances (SEDs) and their families (Stroul & Friedman, 1986). These problems include significant unmet needs for mental health care; overuse of excessively restrictive setting; limited home- and community-based service options; lack of cross-agency coordination; and a lack of partnerships with families and youth.
The vision is to offer a comprehensive array of community-based services and supports that would be coordinated across systems; individualized; delivered in the appropriate, least restrictive setting; culturally competent; and based on full partnerships with families and young people (Stroul, 2002).

RESOURCE | Custody Relinquishment Revisited
Custody relinquishment for mental health services refers to situations in which parents transfer legal and physical custody of their child to the state in order to access services that the child could not obtain otherwise. In these cases, no maltreatment (abuse or neglect) is alleged; rather, parents agree to give up custody of their children in order to receive mental health services, often residential interventions.
