Seneca Wraparound
Founded in 1985 as a small residential and day treatment program for foster youth with the most challenging behavioral and mental health needs, Seneca Family of Agencies has enacted its mission to “serve children and families through the most difficult times of their lives” by building a comprehensive continuum of care in 12 California counties. A core component of this continuum is Seneca’s innovative and unique Wraparound model. Aligned with the National Wraparound Initiative model principles and values, the 10 Principles of Seneca Wraparound are:
- Family Centered
- Team based
- Sustainable
- Collaborative
- Community-based
- Culturally Competent
- Individualized
- Strengths and Values-based
- Unconditional Care
- Goal Driven
