Woodview Mental Health and Autism Services, Brantford-Brant

Intensive Services: provide services to children and youth who have been identified with having mental health needs that require intensive intervention to maintain their functioning at home, school, and/or in the community. Services are developed in partnership with the family to make sure they receive what they need and when (e.g., home, community, school or core service procedure setting)

The goal of Intensive Services is to:

• reduce the severity of mental health problems
• strengthen coping strategies
• increase awareness and understanding of the problem
• improve functioning

Intensive Services include:

• counselling in a comfortable environment
• parenting strategies designed to promote positive family functioning
• individual and/or family therapy (for the entire family as identified by parents)
• hours of support are determined upon assessment at the time of entry (times may vary)
• service collaboration and case management
• strong emphasis on community partnership working together
• linking families to community resources/support

Wraparound Brant: specialized service available to support children, youth, and their families with complex needs. Complex needs are defined as having concerns in more than one area (e.g. mental health and developmental services) and to avoid family breakdown. A Wraparound facilitator identifies the family's strengths and needs and develops a personalized plan to address those needs

The plan will include:

• in-home counselling
• school support and/or community support (e.g., recreational activities)
• individual and/or family therapy (for the entire family as identified by parents)
• behaviour management programming and parenting strategies
• service co-ordination by a Wraparound Facilitator
• a family meeting with informal supports
• school and community partners to review the treatment plan
• revisions to the plan will be made as necessary
• respite services providing time-limited relief for the family

The Wraparound Service model includes partnerships, coordination of services, family support, individualized support, flexibility and ensuring services are family-centered
