On an individual and family base, our programs have made a tremendous impact on the social, academic, economic, and family functioning of those we have served. We hear about these successes during local consortium meetings, referrals, and governance board meetings. The intensity of our High Fidelity Wraparound has kept youth from being removed from their community by providing wrap around and support services to the families.
