FOR
JUVENILE COURT WRAPAROUND SERVICES
EXHIBIT I
Oakland Countv Wrap-around Program
The goal of the Oakland County Wrap-around Program is to reduce or eliminate the need for out of
home placement for youth involved with multiple systems in the community, such as the Circuit
Court, Mental Health, Special Education and Department of Health and Human Services. Detailed
outcome measures reflect the Oakland County Wrap-around Program has been successful in keeping
more than 90% of the referred youth in their home and community, avoiding costly out of home
residential, psychiatric or foster care placement.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Increasingly, youth with serious emotional disturbances are referred to the Court for formal
intervention as a result of delinquent conduct that is secondary to having a psychiatric disorder.
These youngsters are typically identified in early childhood as having multiple adjustment problems.
They receive services from a variety of agencies, often without coordination. Through a partnership
with the Department of Health and Human Services, Oakland County Schools, Oakland Community
Health Network, and other service organizations, a large number of these youth can be maintained in
their own homes. Youth in this special, high-risk population have significant rates of recidivism if
left untreated.
Through appropriate intervention, which includes intensive, at least weekly face-to-face contacts
with youth and families, we anticipate being able to continue to reduce the number of new
adjudications and maintain an increased number of youth in the community.
By maintaining these youths in their homes rather than in residential placement, we achieve a
substantial cost savings.
The Wrap-around process is a tool for building constructive relationships and support networks
among youth with emotional/behavioral challenges, their families, teachers, and other caregivers.
W
This process, which is based on a nationally recognized model, calling for a family -centered,
strength -based philosophy of care, is used to guide service planning for high-risk students and their
families. In Wrap-around, a team specifically made up of people familiar to each active family works
to identify the underlying needs, interests, and limitations of the youth in crisis. The team convenes
regularly in meetings led by a Wrap-around Facilitator and develops a specific plan that addresses
these needs and interests using natural and community supports.
Wrap-around is a unique, strength -based, family -led, process that helps high-risk students avoid out -
of -home placement. The Wrap-around process is a team -based activity that helps groups of people
involved in a student's life wort: together toward a common goal. The process is organized and
delivered by someone who is specially trained to facilitate the team. The team creates an
individualized plan to assure that students and their families can experience success in their
communities, homes, and schools.
Intensive, home based services are provided through the Wrap-around facilitation
Youth must be receiving service from an Oakland Community Health Network (OCHN) funded
Family Mental Health Agency (currently Easter Seals or Oakland Family Services) and meet two or
more of the following criteria:
Youth Involved in Multiple Systems
Risk of Out -of -Home Placement or currently in Out -of -Home Placement (Psychiatric
Hospitalization, Juvenile Detention, Foster Care, etc.)
Youth has been served through other mental health services with minimal improvement
The risk factors exceed capacity for traditional community-based options.
Numerous providers are serving multiple children in the family and the outcomes are not
being met.
Reductions in Adjudications FY 2018-2019
Wrap-around is a nationally recognized strategy for engaging extraordinarily high-risk youth at the
highest level of recidivism rate across not only the juvenile justice system, but the mental health,
child welfare and special education rolls as well.
Our research suggests that over 87% of this population would re -offend in the absence of intensive
intervention. Of the 18 court involved delinquent youth served by Oakland County Wrap-around
last fiscal year (10/01 /18 —9/30/19), 15 would be expected to recidivate. However, only 5 of the 18
youth served were re -adjudicated, demonstrating a 27% actual recidivism rate.
The difference between the number of actual recidivates and the number expected then was 13 youth
last fiscal year. This significant reduction in adjudications realized a very significant decrease in the
average length of slay in residential placement, and the associated costs of out of home placement.
Using the established formula of an average of 270 days / per youth spent in residential placement, a
10
total reduction of 3,510 days in residential care was realized (13 x 270 = 3,510) using Wrap-around
services.
It should be noted that each new adjudication costs an estimated $2,861 to process through the court
system from the time the petition is signed through the time a new disposition is entered. For a total
of $37,193 in cost savings (13 x $2,861 = $37,193).
Reductions in Days of Residential Care FY 2018-2019
Historically, 100% of the youth in the targeted population would be placed out of the home as part
of their treatment. Therefore, it was expected that all 18 youth would be placed in residential
treatment for a period of 4.860 days (18 x 270 average days in residential placement = 4,860).
4,860 days saved from residential placement x $245/average per day in residential cost would
equal $1,190,700 in cost savings for all 18 youths referred to Wrap-around instead of residential
placement.
With Wrap-around involvement, only 5 of the 18 youth served were placed in a residential facility
for an average period of 270 days. Therefore, a reduction of 13 youth who were not placed in
residential treatment was realized. This reduction of 3,510 days in residential care was achieved (13
x 270 = 3,510.)
The average cost of residential care available locally is $245/day.
The dramatic reduction in days spent in residential care for the 13 youth who benefitted from Wrap-
around is reflected in the data below:
3,510 days saved from residential placement
x $245/day in residential cost
$859,950 in cost savings
PROGRAM ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION:
Due to the continued overwhelming positive effect Wrap-around has had on reducing or eliminating
out of home and out of school placements for high-risk students, funding to Oakland Schools for this
program was increased historically by more than an additional $300,000. In the past these increases
came from Oakland Schools through the Special Education Department and other community
sources. Children with active court cases, and who are assessed as high-risk students from all 28
districts participate in Wrap-around to eliminate barriers for educational success. There are currently
seven full-time Wrap-around facilitators assigned to the program. The number of court involved
delinquent youth assessed and accepted for participation in Wrap-around is determined by available
slots reserved for court involved youth.
Based on outcomes for the 2018 - 2019 fiscal year, 126 children in total were assessed and accepted
for Wrap-around by a panel of cross disciplined professionals to be at the highest risk for removal
11
from their homes and placed in detention, psychiatric, or residential treatment facilities received
services from Oakland County Wrap-around. Of these children 85% remained placed in their homes
following participation with the Wrap-around program. Referrals come from all of the community
partners, and cases are accepted on a weekly basis. In order to be considered for acceptance to the
program, a child must be involved with at least two formal "systems" in Oakland County. These
formal systems include the court, special education, mental health, and the child welfare system.
Children who are involved with the mental health system are represented in 98% of those referred to
the program. Children who are involved in the court system are represented in 15% of the referrals,
while children who have family involvement with protective services or foster care are reflected in
85% of those open to Wrap-around. Children who are eligible to receive special education services
are seen in 90% of the referrals to the program.
The length of stay in the program varies based on the severity and complexity of the needs of the
children. The average has dropped from two and a half years to 15 to 18 months currently.
Program statistics indicate that during FY 2018 and FY 2019, an average of 15% of the Wrap-around
cases opened had some type of Court involvement. These statistics lend support in the decision to
request program funding for FY 2019-2020.
Current cost configuration
Because funding at this time is $22,131 per year, only a fraction of Court youth eligible services is
able to access Wrap-around services. Billing is broken down into unit hours of service as reflected in
the following example from the 2019 invoice from Oakland Schools:
Total Wrap-around funding (10/01/2018-9/30/2019) $881,000.00
Circuit Court Grant (10/1/2018-9/30/2019) $22,131.00
Total units of service breakdown: $8.49/unit hour
Percentage of court cases — 15%
Percentage of court funding — 2%
