What to Expect
Following referral your family will receive a phone call from the FCCP to provide you with an overview of services, gather information regarding your family’s needs, and schedule an initial appointment with your family.
During your first appointment, a FCCP worker will review and complete intake documents and continue to gather information regarding needs.
Following this, your assigned FCCP worker will meet with your family in-person weekly and will provide an additional check in phone call once per week. Meeting weekly is key to the FCCP being able to assist your family in meeting their goals, due to this expectation, your worker can meet with you in your home or community.
Your assigned FCCP worker will complete assessments to gain a better understanding of your family’s needs, strengths, and supports.
Your assigned FCCP worker will assist you in developing a “family vision” that outlines your hopes and goals for your family’s future. Using this vision, and the information gathered from assessments, your FCCP worker will assist your family in developing a comprehensive and individualized plan with outlined steps to meeting your identified goals.
Wraparound Team
A core component of the Family Care Community Partnership (FCCP) is assisting families in creating a Wraparound Team or Village of supports to assist them through the wraparound process and beyond. Your Wraparound Team will include family members, friends and community members that are committed and supportive of you and your children! FCCP will assist you in facilitating meeting(s), at least monthly, with your Wraparound Team in which the team develops a team mission geared towards your goals, celebrate your successes and address barriers as they arise.
Typical Wraparound Team Members:
- Family: Parents/caregiver(s), grandparents, aunts/uncles, or extended family members.
- Friends: friends, neighbors, significant others, or youth/peers.
- Community: neighbors, teachers, pastors/priest, social service providers, etc.
- Anyone else that you would like to include!
We look forward to being a part of your village!
Anyone can make a referral to the FCCP, including families, community providers, etc.
