It provides Wraparound Orange with a roadmap for supports, services and organizational development. The Central Receiving Center Governing Board will review progress quarterly and will review and update the plan annually as needed. Wraparound Orange Committees each share responsibility in the update of goals and activities to continually further project activities. The Wraparound Orange project is funded through a grant by the United States Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). This plan was developed with broad involvement and guidance from the Wraparound Orange committee members, notably the Management Team. The Management Team is comprised of approximately 50 members, including service providers, family members, a youth member, private sector members and other vested stakeholders in Wraparound Orange’s activities. This Strategic Plan has been update in August, 2011 to guide the process in upcoming years. Activities that were completed are indicated on the original plan and have been removed. The plan covers August 1, 2011 to August 1, 2012. Background and Summary In October 2009, Orange County Government, Family and Youth Services Division, received $9 million from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA), Children’s Mental Health Initiative, to create “a comprehensive spectrum of mental health and other necessary services which are organized into a coordinated network to meet the multiple and changing needs of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances and their families” (Stroul & Friedman, 1986). This system of care, known as Wraparound Orange, is in line with Orange County’s vision of a community characterized by “Empowered and Resilient Children and Families” and its mission in “Providing the Safety Net for Children and Families in Orange County.” Orange County Government worked diligently to educate the community regarding the needed system of care and garner the necessary support of key stakeholders for Wraparound Orange. A coordinated and comprehensive system of care will eliminate duplication of services, increase capacity in the system and provide increased access to needed services. The CRC Governing Board is the responsible entity for working to garner change and create supportive networks within the system of care framework. Under the oversight of the CRC Governing Board, the Wraparound Orange Management Team has been assembled with key stakeholders, representing organizational leadership, family members and project staff. The Management Team serves to provide leadership and support to the system change initiative. The Implementation Team has been assembled from key community stakeholders to support transformation of the system of care. The Implementation Team members were key contributors to the development of the comprehensive strategic plan that focuses on the creation of integrated, cross-agency, culturally and linguistically competent, Family and Youth-driven processes. To facilitate the work of the Implementation Team, various committees and workgroups have been established that include family and youth representation to facilitate system of care transformation. The committees and groups are listed along with a brief description of the responsibilities: Clinical Committee – Manage all of the working groups and provide the overall clinical oversight to the project. o Wraparound Workgroup – Develop and implement the Wraparound Model along with necessary trainings. o Evidenced Based Practice Workgroup – Research and choose a list of evidenced based screening/assessment tools and specific therapeutic practices to be used in the project. o Service Delivery Workgroup – Develop the service delivery model including work flow and policies and procedures. Cultural and Linguistic Competency Committee – Provide oversight to the assessment of the cultural and linguistic competency of community providers and develop a cultural and linguistic competency plan. Evaluation Advisory Board Committee – Oversee all evaluation activities. Family and Youth Voice Committee – Provide feedback and oversight to all other committees and work to establish a family network through the Federation of Families chapter. Finance and Sustainment Committee – Establish a financing plan for both the project and long-term sustainment. Social Marketing Committee – Complete development of the Logic Model and develop the social marketing plan to educate others on the importance of mental health care and the activities of the project. Strategic Direction The strategic direction and goals included in this plan are Wraparound Orange’s response to its understanding of the challenges facing families and youth struggling with severe emotional disturbances, and current opportunities and challenges for changing the ways services are offered in the community. The five-year period of the strategic plan will be a time of assessing and deepening Wraparound Orange’s approaches to its work. Concurrently, Wraparound Orange will take more of a leadership role in working with a broader array of community resources. Goals Over the next five years, the following goals for Wraparound Orange will guide our response to children’s mental health services and support services to the family members in Orange County. These goals provide a roadmap for fulfilling the strategic direction. 1. The community will operate and sustain a family driven and youth guided system of care that meets the needs of each youth and family and includes the continued development and expansion of the Wraparound Orange service delivery system. 2. Youth and families will receive culturally and linguistically competent services within the system of care. 3. The use of evidence-based practices while maintaining high fidelity will be expanded across the community based on the needs of youth and families enrolled in Wraparound. 4. Information and resources will be efficiently utilized and shared. 5. Funding for children’s services will be integrated and allocated based on the individual needs of the youth and families and the system of care framework will be adopted and financially sustained as a community-wide service model. 6. Effective evaluation and continuous quality management will be used to inform decisions and improve the overall system of care and services. 7. The social marketing efforts will raise the community-wide awareness about children’s mental/behavioral health and the system of care values, accessibility, and impact on the community and will reduce the stigma of mental health across the community. Organization of the Strategic Plan As previously noted, this strategic plan is intended to be a management tool for Wraparound Orange. This plan has two purposes. First, it presents the most comprehensive compilation of the plan and its component parts. It is a record of the strategic planning process and the decisions reached by the Central Receiving Center and Management Team. Second, it is a reference guide for strategic planning. At the beginning of each section a box includes a definition of the component part. Vision A community of resilient youth and families well equipped to deal with the stressors of life and enjoy empowered, independent, healthy and productive lives. The Five Year Vision of the Wraparound Orange Project We envision a community where children and families are able to access the services they need, whether they be mental health, scholastic, employment, athletic, and/or physical health in a seamless manner. The ultimate goal is for the youth and families to lead happy lives, utilizing their strengths to achieve stability and personal satisfaction. Short-Term Goals The short-term goals of the Wraparound project unfold through various paths. One such goal is to engage stakeholders, Family and Youth members who demonstrate the desire and commitment necessary to see our vision through to its completion. Another is to develop effective ways to share information and funding within the system of care to begin breaking down barriers among providers, youth, and families. A third short-term goal is to identify the youth and families in most need of help. Long-Term Goals By the sixth year of the grant, 3,500 children (the projected unmet need) will be screened for eligibility and a minimum of 1,000 children will be enrolled and served over the life of the grant. Wraparound Orange intends to serve an average of 200 children each year. It is expected that nearly every child enrolled in the system of care project will be provided with crisis intervention, in-home or community-based counseling and care management as core services, typically needed by children with a serious emotional disturbance. The project will strive to eliminate racial, ethnic, geographic, cultural and socioeconomic disparities in healthcare services by tailoring services to reflect the cultural needs of the families. Wraparound Orange seeks for its youth and families to achieve in each domain of their lives, whether it is at school, the workplace, or their community. The project desires to empower youth and families to exercise their rights to obtain the care and assistance they need in order to be happy and productive citizens. Wraparound Orange plans to position itself so that our efforts will continue long after federal funding has ceased. We want the Wraparound Orange model to serve as the way youth and families get the help they need in Central Florida. Mission Wraparound Orange facilitates a family-driven, youth-guided and culturally competent system of care for those youth with social, emotional and behavioral health challenges and their families. Wraparound Orange is modeled after the System of Care philosophy. A system of care is a coordinated network of community-based services and supports that are organized to meet the challenges of children and youth with serious mental health needs and their families. Families and youth work in partnership with public and private organizations to design mental health services and supports that are effective, that build on the strengths of individuals, and that address each person's cultural and linguistic needs. A system of care supports children, youth and families to higher functioning at home, in school, within the community and throughout life. Values Family Driven, Youth Guided, Culturally and Linguistically Competent, Strengths-based, Individualized, Integrated, Comprehensive, Competent, Respectful, Outcomes based, and Evidenced based. The following core operating values influence the culture and public image of the Wraparound Orange Project as an effective community-based entity serving youth with a Severe Emotional Disturbance and their families. Family Driven – families have the primary decision-making role in the care of their own children and in the policies and procedures for governing care for all children in their community. Youth Guided – Youth have the right to be empowered, educated and given a decisionmaking role in their own care and in the establishment of policies and procedures for governing care for all children in their community. Culturally and Linguistically Competent - Youth and families receive services, supports and interventions designed to meet their specific cultural and linguistic needs. Strengths-based - Youth and their families have all the strengths and resources needed for their own empowerment. A plan for serving them is based on maximizing their strengths, rather than focusing on their weaknesses. Individualized – Youth and families are entitled to receiving the services and supports that build upon their individual strengths and needs while incorporating all of their natural supports. Integrated – Services and Supports are intertwined to achieve maximum benefit. Comprehensive – A wide array of services and supports are available to enhance the natural strengths and resources of youth and their families. Competent – Services are delivered in a highly qualified manner and the system exhibits a very wide range of abilities and knowledge. Respectful – There is a positive feeling of esteem for youth and their families and this is apparent in conduct and in policies and procedures governing care. Outcomes Based – Service delivery is based on the achievement of specific results that can be measured. Evidence – Based - Services that have an empirical foundation for success are used to the greatest extent possible. Underlying Assumptions This is a set of beliefs about what frames Wraparound Orange’s work. Underlying assumptions inform work or why we choose to tackle problems or issues in a certain way. Wraparound Orange believes that: 1. Youth and families are capable of making decisions about what will best meet their needs. 2. Youth and families are resilient and have the strengths necessary to succeed. 3. Fidelity to the Wraparound Model and System of Care values is imperative in achieving our goals. 4. Promoting cultural and linguistic competence best addresses the needs of youth and their families. 5. Service providers are responsive to the unique needs of each Family and Youth. 6. Service providers utilize a family-centered approach. 7. There should be “no wrong door” when accessing services. 8. Education on mental health issues in the community reduces stigma. 9. Evaluation and continuous quality management are critical components in assessing and improving the system of care. 10. Sharing data across providers reduces duplication of efforts and accelerates the provision of service delivery. 11. Financial sustainability is tantamount to the success of our efforts. 12. Finances should not serve as a barrier to service delivery. 13. To obtain efficiency, financial resources should be blended and leveraged. 14. The community must be active in the design, implementation, and evaluation of our efforts. SWOT Analysis The following is a brief summary of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) highlighted by the Wraparound Orange Management Team, committees and family members. The SWOT analysis is intended to orient us in our work plan activities and sensitize us to our underlying assumptions. Strengths are internal characteristics, qualities, and capacities that are doing well and are part of the reason the organization’s accomplishments. Weaknesses are internal qualities that need to be improved. Opportunities refer to external activities or trends that the organization may benefit from, connect with or take advantage of to grow or enhance its performance. Threats are external activities or trends that threaten the current and future success of the organization. Strengths Multiple provider agencies that are currently part of the system Extensive training available across the community Tri-County SEDNET-Multiagency Network for Students with Emotional Disabilities (SEDNET) Multiagency teams currently exist Support from University of Central Florida and its resources Past experience collaborating (successful models such as Primary Care Access Network and the Central Receiving Center) Media/social marketing through Orange County Government/Youth & Family Services Weaknesses Duplication of services Not enough specialty providers/services Complex funding system, under insured families Lack of knowledge of what exists, no coordination of resource information Entry into the system is not coordinated and is confusing Families don’t always feel they receive quality services or do not feel they are a priority within the system Need additional mental health services and supports within the delinquency and dependency systems Opportunities Reduce redundancy Embedding services within the schools and providing services within neighborhoods (e.g., Community School, Evans Project) State and County alignment across systems (e.g., child welfare and juvenile justice) Early identification and intervention Expand cultural competency in service delivery Increase capacity and access, “no wrong door” “Family directed” over just “family involved” Build peer and family network Mental health parity Healthcare reform Threats Bad economy and poor budgets Insurance difficult to navigate, complicated with varying rules and narrow eligibility criteria Changes in State and local leadership Need diagnosis to receive treatment 0-5 years of age early diagnosis is minimal Fear, denial and stigma related to mental health Executive Summary Updates Wraparound Orange is modeled after the System of Care philosophy. A system of care is a coordinated network of community-based services and supports that are organized to meet the challenges of children and youth with serious mental health needs and their families. Families and youth work in partnership with public and private organizations to design mental health services and supports that are effective, that build on the strengths of individuals, and that address each person's cultural and linguistic needs. A system of care helps children, youth and families function better at home, in school, in the community and throughout life.
