wraparound service
adj.— «It coincided with changes in the child-welfare system, including the development of care-management organizations to work with children and more focus on what’s known as wraparound services. The idea is to supply children with the services they need in their communities, developing local resources—Douglas called them “natural supports”—that families can access easily.» —“Woman’s vision guides foster kids” by Arielle Levin Becker Home News Tribune (East Brunswick, N.J.)
