Wraparound with Intensive Services (WISe) is an intensive, team-based mental health program designed to support children, youth, and young adults with complex behavioral health needs. WISe brings together a custom care team—including family, community supports, and healthcare professionals—to help youth remain safely in their homes, schools, and communities.

WISe is a voluntary, family-driven program that meets you where you are, delivering flexible care in your home, school, or community settings on a schedule that fits your life.

How WISe Works

WISe uses a collaborative model where your family leads the way. Together, we create a individualized care plan built around your family’s unique strengths, culture, and long-term vision.

Your WISe team may include:

• Care Coordinator: Facilitates meetings, helps navigate systems (schools, foster care, juvenile justice), and manages your care plan.

• Behavioral Health Clinician: Provides individual and family therapy, skill-building, and emotional regulation strategies.

• Parent Partner / Family Peer Specialist: A peer advocate with lived experience raising a child with complex behavioral health needs who offers guidance, empathy, and advocacy.

• Youth Peer Support: A trained young adult who has navigated their own mental health journey and acts as a mentor and guide for the youth.

• Natural Supports: Extended family members, friends, mentors, or faith leaders chosen by your family to be part of your support circle.

Key Features & Benefits

• In-Home & Community-Based Care: Services take place where the youth feels most comfortable—at home, at school, or in public community spaces.

• 24/7 Crisis Support: Access to mobile crisis support from team members who know your family's history and safety plan.

• Multi-System Coordination: Seamless collaboration with schools, child welfare, juvenile justice, and primary care providers.

  SOUND Behavioral Health

Getting Started / How to Request a Screening

Anyone can refer a youth for a WISe screening, including parents, caregivers, providers, school staff, or youth themselves (aged 13 and older).

Eligibility is determined through a brief, state-approved screening tool (Child and Adolescent Needs and Strengths - CANS) conducted over the phone or in person.
