“Sustainable, effective wraparound practice takes more than good intentions and values. Leaders involved in developing wraparound capacity must consider not only what is happening on the direct practice level as it relates to the capacity to implement high-fidelity wraparound, but must also attend to the organizational and system levels to assure that wraparound efforts are robust, relevant and resilient. For many communities, some of the biggest implementation challenges revolve around funding for the wraparound effort.
