SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Monterey County has been operating a Wraparound program since 2002. Wraparound Monterey County offers an alternative service provision to reunite or maintain children safely with their families and/or communities. The program collaborates between many partners with referrals coming through the Monterey County Department of Social Services and Probation Department.
Wraparound Monterey County is a model for Wraparound that provides an enhanced provision of case management, quality of individual and family services, with a clear cost effective fiscal model. This model includes a Wraparound Care Coordinator Function, a Wraparound Administrative Service Function, and a Wraparound Provider Network. Action Council provides the Wraparound Administrative Services Function which includes the creation of the provider network.
Action Council was created in 1994 to address the reduction in government funding for health and human services for low-income and vulnerable people. Their goal is to create public/private partnerships to promote economic and social justice; to initiate community dialogue and action on critical issues; to provide a focal point for achieving community transformation and to develop resources to facilitate needed change. They have provided the Administrative Services Function for Wraparound Monterey County for the last three years.
