Who We Help

Youth ages 5 to 21

  • Identified as Severely Emotionally Disturbed (SED) or dually diagnosed
  • Extensive histories of psychiatric crises, emergency services utilization, or prolonged hospitalizations
  • At imminent risk of out-of-home placement, or transitioning from higher levels of care (e.g., residential facilities)
  • Involvement with San Francisco Human Services (child welfare) and/or Juvenile Justice systems is required
  • Includes youth with recent-onset (“first break”) psychosis
  • Commonly serves youth and families with complex intersections of behavioral health, substance use, and system involvement

Program Outcomes

SF WRAP tracks multiple metrics using Welligent EHR. Examples include:

  • High levels of client and parent or caregiver satisfaction
  • Progress toward partial or full achievement of individualized treatment goals at discharge
  • Improvements in key Child & Adolescent Needs and Strengths (CANS) actionable items and the development of “centerpiece strengths”
  • Discharge disposition with the aim of transitioning clients to lower levels of care
  • Reduction in the need for acute intensive care services like crisis line calls, psychiatric hospitalizations, juvenile detention holds, or higher-level residential placements
  • Annual reporting and program credentialing through the National Wraparound Initiative

Referral Process

  • SF WRAP is indicated for youth with behavioral health acuity exceeding the capacity of traditional outpatient services, and where care coordination across systems is essential to mitigate the risk of higher-level placement, detention, or hospitalization.
  • The program can also help facilitate a smooth transition and stabilization when returning youth from restrictive settings to community or family-based placements.
  • Youth/young adults must have an open and active case with SF Human Services Agency or SF Probation in order to be eligible for services. The assigned HSA Social Worker or Probation Officer present referrals at the county’s weekly MAST Meeting.
