What is Turning Point?

The planning and services process is based on the unique needs of each individual family. It is a process, not a program. It is an unconditional commitment to create strategies to help the family eventually become independent and have support from their community, neighborhood, family and friends.

The family and their support network (team) and the people who know the child and family best develop their unique plan. Rather than formal services, creative strategies are identified and created by the team.

The plan is family centered and is based on the unique strengths, values and preferences of the family

Human services have traditionally relied on what the family was doing wrong, whereas the Wraparound process focuses on what they do well to create strategies to fulfill their needs.

How can Turning Point Wraparound Services Help?

The plan is focused on creating a vision with the family that describes how they would like the family to be in the future. The team makes a commitment to unconditional care. No interventions are allowed in the plans that do no have matching child, family and community strengths.

Services are Created to Meet the Unique Needs of the Family

Strategies to meed the family’s needs are community based. When residential treatment or hospitalization is used as a last resort, they are to be used as a resource, not as placements. The plan is evaluated often and changed if necessary to continually meet the changing needs of the family.

Plans And Strategies Are Sensitive to the Family’s Culture
