Wrap-Around (WA) services provide much-needed support to families in crisis and to vulnerable children who are in unsafe environments or circumstances. WA services are intended to promote safe and stable families as well as facilitate early reunification and/or permanency for children in care. As children enter care, the need for WA services are determined as part of the CCFA.

The Comprehensive Child and Family Assessment (CCFA) is a public/private strategy developed with the goal of improving the well-being, permanency, and safety outcomes for children in foster care through comprehensive assessments. The CCFA serves as the foundation for case planning decisions and for making recommendations to juvenile courts. The CCFA also provides children and families with the opportunity to receive appropriate services and to have successful outcomes.

The goal of PUP services is to reduce risk factors contributing to child maltreatment to ensure the protection and safety of a child. 

Services include:

• Emergency housing/financial assistance

• Temporary childcare services

•  Counseling, emergency transportation needs and psychiatric/psychological testing

•  Drug screens

•  Substance abuse assessments

•  Domestic violence assessments

•  Sexual abuse assessments

•  Parental fitness.

They are provided as a support service among others as part of the safety or case plan in an open Family Preservation or Permanency case. Imminent risk of placement or readiness for reunification of the children must be clearly documented in the case record.
