OUR APPROACH
Working to reduce family conflict, mitigate the effects of trauma, and improve attachment challenges through encouragement, understanding, and assistance on a variety of levels, Evolve Youth Services uses the High Fidelity Wraparound method of service tailored to a family’s unique needs. This holistic approach underscores the pivotal role of building healthy relationships in healing trauma, aligning with the increasing body of evidence that emphasizes the vital connection between mental health and our fundamental need to connect with one another and be part of a healthy community. By addressing the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of both children and their families, and by simultaneously tending to the mental health requirements of everyone in the family, Wraparound services offer a comprehensive strategy to support post-adoptive families in their journey towards enduring well-being and resilience.
What is High Fidelity Wraparound
Individualized
The team develops and implements a customized plan for each family to achieve it’s own identified goals.
Family Voice & Choice
Family and youth perspectives are intentionally elicited and prioritized during all phases of the wraparound process. Planning is grounded in family members’ perspectives, and the team strives to provide options and choices such that the plan reflects family values and preferences.
Culturally-competent
The wraparound plan demonstrates respect for and builds on the values, preferences, beliefs, culture, and identity of the child and family.
Community-based
The wraparound team implements service and support strategies that take place in the most inclusive, most responsive, most accessible, and least restrictive settings possible; and that safely promote child and family integration into home and community life.
Team-based
The wraparound team consists of the individuals agreed upon by the family and committed to the family through informal, formal, and community support and service relationships.
Unconditional Care & Persistence
A wraparound team does not give up on, blame, or reject children, youth, and families. When faced with challenges or setbacks, the team continues working toward meeting the youth and family’s needs and achieving the goals in the wraparound plan until the team agrees that a formal wraparound process is no longer necessary.
Natural Support Systems
The team actively seeks out and encourages the full participation of team members drawn from family members’ networks of interpersonal and community relationships. The wraparound plan reflects activities and interventions that draw on sources of natural support.
Outcome-based & Responsible
Each family, with it’s team, creates a strengths-based plan tied to measurable indicators of success and revises the plan as needed.
Collaboration & Integration
Team members work cooperatively and share responsibility for developing, implementing, monitoring and evaluating a single wraparound plan. The plan reflects a blending of team members’ perspectives, mandates, and resources. The plan guides and coordinates each team member’s work towards meeting the team’s goal.
Strength-based
The wraparound process and the wraparound plan identify, build on, and enhance the capabilities, knowledge, skills, and assets of the child and family, their community, and other team members.
Are you ready to develop your family's goals?
EYS uses a team-based approach to design a plan that helps each family identify their strengths and use those to build strategies that mitigate conflict. Goals are developed that are measurable, observable and specific for each identified need and the team provides options that reflect the family’s values and culture.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Testimonials
Evolve has helped me advance academically and has supported me during my last years of high school. Without them I may not have been able to continue playing on all my sports teams.
I had fostered children for a number of years before deciding to adopt. While ending my continuous involvement with the court system was a relief, adoption came with another set of concerns. Love or commitment were never in question; but constant behavior struggles tested our ability to meet the needs of our child. With the help of Evolve Youth Services, we were able to refocus our parenting in a positive, productive way. The EYS team made me feel genuinely respected and understood. Expanding our base of support freed us as a family to reset, regroup, and be the parents we wanted to be.
