THE WRAPAROUND PROGRAM 3<br />

FY 2008 <strong>12</strong>5<br />
FY 2009 242<br />
WRAPAROUND: Three major collaborative partners in our community -<br />
Summit Pointe, Juvenile Court, and the Department of Human Services<br />
are blending state funds in order to treat high-risk youth and their<br />
families more effi ciently within the community thus reducing the need<br />
for and cost of out of home placements. Wraparound implements<br />
family friendly strategies that focus on family strenths, identify and remove<br />
barriers for families, risk, needs, and protective factors with youth<br />
in the community. Since 2008, the Wraparound program has seen a<br />
100% growth in the number of families served.<br />
YOUTH LEADERSHIP: <strong>17</strong>2 young men attended ‘Take the Lead’, a day sponsored by Summit Pointe that<br />
provided middle school and high school students with an opportunity to interact and learn outside the<br />
classroom. <strong>The</strong> agenda provided an opportunity for the student to learn appropriate confl ict resolution<br />
skills and learn about resume development. <strong>The</strong> event was held at McCamly Plaza Hotel which allowed<br />
a number of business leaders from the community to join the students for an<br />
interactive lunch discussion about careers and employment opportunities.<br />
ADULT SERVICES: Summit Pointe<br />
continues to serve an increasing<br />
number of Adults with Serious<br />
Mental Illness (SMI). <strong>The</strong><br />
temporary drop in numbers<br />
served from FY 08 to FY 09<br />
stemmed from a range of<br />
factors (changes in how<br />
customers were to be<br />
counted; General Fund<br />
cutbacks; decreases in<br />
Medicaid HMO members; shifts<br />
to Homelessness Program; and<br />
increased recovery-based<br />
services offered by the<br />
Veteran Administration).<br />
Services available to adults with mental illness include:<br />
• Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) - A multidisciplinary wraparound service designed to treat all<br />
aspects of care for the most acute and challenging customers with serious and persistent mental illness.<br />
• Client Services Management (CSM) - A community-based care coordination service that assists<br />
customers with serious and persistent mental illness obtaining services and supports that contribute to<br />
stability, recovery, and self-management of their illness.<br />
• Outpatient Services - Short-term therapy services to address emotional issues in persons dealing with<br />
emotional upset or mental illness.<br />
• NET Program - A medication-only service for persons who only require limited service involvement.<br />
