Santa Clara County Kinship Center offers intensive “Wraparound” services to children and youth at risk of placement in a high-level group home, and to their families. The Wraparound programs are strength-based, family-driven, flexible and creative, with the goal of helping the family develop the skills and supports to prevent or reduce the possibility of residential placement of their child. A family-based team addresses the needs of the entire family, not just the at-risk child. This family team consists of family members, other community members who have an important role in the family, and Kinship Center’s facilitators or care coordinators, parent partners, and family assistants or youth partners. Kinship Center offers specialized Adoption / Permanency Wraparound services for families who are or have adopted children from the foster care system as well as relative caregivers and legal guardians. Kinship Center’s Adoption Wraparound program is the first such program in California; since its inception in 2001, the program has been able to preserve 95% of the highest-risk participating adoptive families.
