A must-read book for achieving breakthrough results in America's education system. Ensuring all children can succeed begins with deep cross-sector partnerships; integration across education, human services, and children's behavioral health; and believing in the promise of every child within the context of their school, family, and community. The authors understand that the evidence-based approach and values in child- and family-centered wraparound are core to the success we seek. Wraparound is not a 'program' to replicate for some children, but rather a system-wide orientation that gives every child the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential.
